Williams, the Post Office, Bala, North Wales, No. 88055" and indicates "Post Card Firth's Series" and "Printed in England." No Stamp. Never postally used. No message. F. Frith & Co. (Reigate) was one of the most prestigious photographic firms in the world. Frith often produced "Local View" cards (under their "Frith’s Series" label) for village postmasters like C. Williams. This "Private Label" approach allowed local businesses in North Wales to sell world-class photography under their own branding. The number 88055 is a Frith negative number. Based on the Frith archival sequence, this number dates the original photograph to approximately 1934.
