  • Reference
  • Businesses, Publishing Business
The Valentine Company, a lithographic printing firm, was founded in 1825 in Dundee, Scotland by John Valentine. A New York branch was opened in 1906 and later another office opened in Boston, Massachusetts. Valentines published view-cards depicting scenes throughout the country. While many of these cards were printed in the United States in their later years, they have the exact same distinct look of the tinted halftones that were printed in Great Britain. All cards are numbered and have a three digit prefix and a three digit suffix. In 1909 they merged with the Hugh C. Leighton Company of Portland, Maine to become Leighton and Valentine.

  • Belfast ME
"In 1909, R. Herman Cassens, a young entrepreneur, started a postcard company, the Eastern Illustrating and Publishing Company, in the mid-coast town of Belfast, Maine. Postcards have always been a popular item, especially for travelers, but at the turn of the century they were the absolute rage. The company continued producing black and white cards through the 1950s and made color postcards through the 1980s. Sometime in the 1940s or 1950s the company switched from glass plates to film. At first the information was hand written, and later it was printed. The Eastern Illustrating logo varied through the years." Information from Archivist Kevin Johnson at Penobscot Marine Museum – 2014
