The postcards of joseph zachariah (an update)

by brian G. Vincent

In 2009 William Main produced his most welcome book “Edwardian Wellington – Photographs by Joseph Zachariah”.  Accompanying the book was a catalogue of known “Zak” postcards – a very valuable listing that has enabled this writer, on more than one occasion, to identify the date (year) in which a numbered but otherwise undated “Zak” postcard was published.

I have recently been re-organising and sorting my postcards and thought it might be useful to produce the following list of Zak postcards in my collection that were not listed when William Main’s book was published.  The additional postcards to include in the list are as follows:
