Postcard with photo used as part of address

Postcard sent by Bray to A Resident of + photo of Bournmouth Pier on 23rd October 1899.

The Post Office took a dim view of this effort and imposed 1d. charge for being contrary to regulations. The card was delivered to Bournemouth and even attracted a little rhyme from the postman:

Pursuing this game
We hope there are not many
However for your hobby
You will have to pay a penny
