Author Unknown. The post card was published and distributed by the London based Rotary Photographic Company who were established in 1901, but had a registered portrait studio as early as 1897. Many photographers for the company worked on a freelance basis and seldom ever received a credit for their work. As the publisher, rights were often held by the company who ceased trading in April 1916 and as such, this photo is now believed out of copyright.
