The cards bear printed marks from several Victorian photographers, primarily based in the Midlands and London, including G. Caldwell at the Rembrandt Art Studio, Carrington Street, Nottingham; J. Caloe & Son of Basford and Bulwell; Stanley of 23 Hertford Street, Coventry; Charles Koenig of 313 Edgware Road; W. Watson of Nottingham; Pearson Photographic Artist; The Newisham Studio; and J. H.
