This postcard shows the Market Cross, a medieval Christian cross, in the center of a marketplace in Grantham, England. The monument is composed of a medieval limestone base shaped in tiered octagonal slabs atop which is an iron cross. It dates back to at least 1300. Parts of the cross have undergone restorations over the years including the base. The shaft is from the late twentieth century. The knop and head are thought to be from the eighteenth or nineteenth centuries. Standing crosses such as this one were commonly used to mark the locations where major announcements were made. These crosses might also mark locations geographically or where sermons were made. Valentine & Sons was founded in 1825 as a lithographic company by John Valentine in Dundee, Scotland. John's son, James Valentine (1815-1879), joined as a business partner just five years later. James eventually took over the business and restructured the company in 1851. Valentine & Sons became a leading manufacturer of postcards in both Scotland and abroad when it ventured into the industry during the 1890s. After James's passing, the company was run by his two sons, William Dobson Valentine (1844-1907) and George Valentine (1852-1890). The company continued to operate until 1963 when it was sold to John Waddington, Limited. John Waddington then sold the business to Hallmark Cards in 1980. Valentine & Sons formally ceased operations in 1994 when their factory in Dundee closed. …
