Sidney Valentine Gardner (1869-1957) was an artist associate with the Straithes (North Yorkshire) group of artists, exhibiting at the Royal Academy and elsewhere. A search suggests that his paintings were rarely used for post cards. However he was responsible for a series of attractive Oilette post cards published by Raphael Tuck, reference "St Albans 7752". I have created a page with five of these views but suspect that they were issued as a set of six. The five I have show:
- Holywell Hill (with a very early car)
- The Market (with goods laid out for sale)
- The Abbey (the tower and part of the east end)
- St Michael's Bridge (with horse and cart using the ford)
- Sopwell Ruins.
Can you help me by identifying (and possibly supplying) a digital image of the missing card in the series.
