A series of 12 real photograph postcards published by Charles Skilton Ltd, London and sold as a set in their own envelope for 2/6d (= 12 1/2 p). They show life in the streets of London in the 1950s.
"Looking at these monochrome images of the threadbare postwar years, you might easily imagine the photographs were earlier, but Margaret Rutherford in ‘Ring Round the Moon’ at The Globe in Shaftesbury Ave in number nine dates them to 1950. Celebrated in his day as publisher of the Billy Bunter stories, Charles Skilton won posthumous notoriety for his underground pornographic publishing empire, Luxor Press.” (Spitalfields Life)
