I thought some of you might be interested to see this scanned copy of a 1906 postcard of the Municipal Buildings, now of course Portobello Police Station. The card was gifted recently to Inspector Wardrope and is date stamped on the reverse 'Portobello, 10:30pm, July 3, 1906" and addressed to Mr and Mrs Wright, 1 Ramsay Place, Portobello. The name of the seller is printed on the front, M. Bailey, Promenade and the publisher, Charles Voisey, London on the reverse.
What the scan doesn't demonstrate is that the card is unusual in that it has been printed onto a very thin sheet of metal, possibly tin, giving it a shiny, almost irridescent quality.
