Postcards in Victorian times were becoming increasingly popular, having been introduced in 1870, although it was not until 1894 that images appeared on the front.

We must, therefore, question the authenticity of some of the communication pertaining to be from and to Emily.
This does not appear to be a real postcard and may possibly have been created by Emily’s niece in 1918 when she was gifted all the Wiltshire Snare archive by Emily herself.

Charlotte East regularly visited Scarborough, with a reference to one of her visits recorded in Emily’s diary in 1885. This postcard is from Emily to her nephew, Edward, dated 1913
