    Is it possible to find out the year that John Hinde took the photos that would eventually become postcards?

    Your question implies that John Hinde took a batch of photos in a particular 'year' (singular) and then, as an afterthought ('eventually'), decided to sell them as post cards.

    In fact it was a well established business in which JH photographers went around the country talking photos which were then processed in their studios in Cabinteely. They were based in a building on the Old Bray Road, a few doors down from the Horse and Hound pub and at one point were owned by Waterford Crystal plc.

    I doubt that sort of information was ever archived. I know one of the John Hinde photographers and he wouldn't have a clue when photographs were taken.

    I wonder did John Hinde himself keep a record of the photos he took. Some postcards have written on them...colour photo by John Hinde. Other postcards have....(name of photographer, John Hinde studios.
