Mother and Child in 1913

            The Postcard

A Photogravure Series postcard that was published by Alfred Stiebel & Co. of London EC. The card was printed in England.

Any ideas why someone saw fit to include a kettle/teapot in the shot?

The card was posted in Leicester using a half-penny stamp on Sunday the 22nd. June 1913. It was sent to:

Miss E. Stock,
Eastbourne House,
Scarboro Avenue,
Skegness.

The message on the divided back of the crd was as follows:

"Thanks for PC. I quite
meant to have replied
before, but the shops
were shut on Thursday
& then I thought you were
coming home yesterday.
I am so glad to hear you
are keeping better. I should
think the Skegness air will
do you good. The weather
is certainly lovely for you.
With love,
Edie."

A Mass Resignation in Serbia

So what else happened on the day that Edie posted the card?

Well, on the 22nd. June 1913, Serbia's Prime Minister Nikola Pašić and his cabinet resigned because of the nation's lack of progress in negotiating with Bulgaria, after which the Serbian minister left Sofia. 

Pašić formed a new government when the Second Balkan War broke out days later.

Henry Cox Jones

The day also marked the death at the age of 92 of the American politician Henry Cox Jones.

Henry, who was born in 1821,  was the last surviving member of the Provisional Congress of the Confederate States, having served as a Representative for Alabama from 1861 to 1862.
