  • The first Edmund Ward postcard series was issued in 1952, and comprised a total of eighteen postcards in three sets of six. They were produced using images taken from the Railway Series. The sets were: * Thomas the Tank Engine Series numbered 101/1 to 101/6 * James the Red Engine Series numbered 201/1 to 201/6 * Henry the Green Engine Series numbered 301/1 to 301/6 Originally, on one of the postcards in the Henry the Green Engine Series (301/1) Percy was incorrectly referred to as Toby. This was corrected the following year and postcard number 301/4 was replaced with a new image and caption. In 1954 another set of six postcards was released; the Gordon the Big Engine Series numbered 401/1 to 401/6. In 1956 an additional twelve postcards were added bringing the total up to thirty-six. It was at this time that the format of having six postcards in each series was dropped, however four additional series were added. They were: * Percy Series * Edward the Blue Engine Series * Sir Handel Series * Skarloey Series These were the postcards in use until 1958. In 1959 the series of 36 postcards once again used the number sequence 101/1 through to 101/36 with several of the images from the 1956 issue being re-used. The defining aspect of this series is the first use of deckled edging. Some postcards were printed with a spelling error in the publishers address reading "Bishopsg, ateLondon" instead of "Bishopsgate, London". In 1964 the illustrations that the postcards used were changed again. Another change was that the number sequence was now 10/1 through to 10/36 rather than the previous 101/1 through to 101/36 format.
