| Sopwell Nunnery, St Albans, by "Sydbie" |
In about 1905 a series of six distinctive post cards, painted by "Sydbie" appeared showing historic views of the Barnet area appeared - and that seemed to only mention I could find of him. (A Google image search only shows the post cards I show on my web site.)
Now I have discovered two further post cards, one of Sopwell Nunnery, and the other of the ruined house at Gorhambury which have his signature. They were published in the Pelham series by Boots, the chemists, possibly about 1910.
I am wondering if he (or she) was a Hertfordshire artist, and whether other works by "Sydbie" exists.
