Hi everconch. I'm really excited that I found your blog. I hope we can talk more about your collection, as I am a doctoral student doing research into early twentieth century Key West postcards. Several of the cards you've posted I'm seeing for the first time -- which is great!
For now, I was wondering if you can tell me if WA Johnson published the second card in this post? Or perhaps his son, Frank?
The postcard 'Duval Street looking South' is by the Key West News Company. There is no date on it. The postcards in my collection that have a credit to Frank Johnson are 'Most Southerly Home in the U.S.,Key West.Fla.', 'One of the Many Picturesque Lanes in Key West, Fla.', 'Governor Cobb Steamer', and 'Train at Sea Crossing Key West Extension, Florida'. This last card is the oldest one I have and has a copyright mark 1912 by Harris on the front. Frank Johnson has a publishing credit on the back side.
