[QUOTE="daveydempsey, post: 1261977, member: 22"]I got these 4 unsigned postcard size water colours in an old frame. The glass was cracked and the frame was rotting and came out of a damp home. I gently took it apart and found an old postal envelope used as backing, the stamps are Edward VI dated 1906 with addresses in South Wales and Berkshire. I think the framer used anything that was laying about as backing so the envelope is not really important in dating and locating the pics. 3 of the paintings have pencil notations on the reverse with the location and one has the location written on the front. I require some help reading the full text. Pictures of the 4 paintings with reverses will be shown in the next post.
