Wm. Clarke & Son [tobacco : UK] "Marine Series" (1907) /25 - C560-460 : C90-13 So here we have another stirring view of H.M.S. Dreadnought, and this one was issued in 1907 so it is a very contemporary image indeed. Wm. Clarke and Son are a very interesting company for they were based in Liverpool and London, which I do not think is purely in alphabetical order as so many lists are. My reasoning behind this is that in 1923 they moved everything to Dublin because of the changes to the borders and their effects on trade, and I just feel this would have been easier to do from Liverpool to Dublin. But I may be wrong and if so please say so! In our original World Tobacco Issues Index this set is simply described as "Sm. Nd. (25), referring to the size (small, or standard), the fact that each card is numbered, and the number that makes a complete sets which appears in the brackets. However there is one interesting point that may be gleaned for the set is in the section for cards issued between 1907 and 1915. Our set, from 1907, is the only one which does not have an H. number with it, and that most often tells us that the set was issued by another. So the rest of the sets in this section are "Army Life" 1915 (which was issued by Davies, Player, BAT and Wills "Scissors") "Butterflies and Moths" 1912 (also by Adkin and Player) and "Royal Mail" 1914 (also by Ogdens).
