An early black + white postcard
with an undivided back, showing 1 small view of Edinburgh and
three other small views related to Sir Walter Scott. The
front of this card also included a short verse by Scott and a
large area for writing the message.

I have sen just the one postcard by
'Donnelly Photo' (It is reproduced above, excluding its white
border.) The location is not given, but this card comes from
a collection in which all the other cards are of Edinburgh,
so it seems likely that this photo was also taken in or around
Edinburgh. Where might this photo have been taken?

One card I have gives the address
63 Princes Street, and another gives their address as The Picture
Post Card Bureau, 106 Princes Street. Stan Mason has given
me yet another address for the company, 68 Princes Street!
