London Publisher: B & R Enterprises Checklist

A small local publisher indeed. Only ten (10) cards were printed possibly by Piggot Printing. All ten cards were reproductions of black and white sketches made by London artists, Ken Jackson, Anne Marsh Evans and Silvia Clarke.

The letters B & R stand for the people behind the cards being Bob Peel and Romano Pulzoni. Both gentlemen are Londoners and friends, although this apparently was their first business venture together. They were apparently inspired and motivated by the success of Vicor Aziz and his postcard business. Victor was a local photographer who produced a great number of London postcards to be seen in future blogs.

The postcards were printed in 1975. Each postcard was printed 10,000 times. Despite this, not all ten (10) have been found by the collectors I know.

1. Bishop Cronyn Memorial Church (Silvia Clarke);
2. City Hall (Ken Jackson);
3. Dundas Street (Ken Jackson);
4. Eldon House (Anne Marsh Evans);
5. Middlesex College (Ken Jackson);
6. Old Court House, Ridout and Dundas Streets (Silvia Clarke);
7. St. Peter’s Basilica (Ken Jackson);
8. Storybook Gardens (Ken Jackson);
9. Victoria Park (Ken Jackson);
10. Victorian Homes, Prospect Avenue (Silvia Clarke).
