Summary[edit]

Description

This penny postcard was sold by St. Paul's Hospital in a competition where the purchaser could win a first prize of £1000 by naming the twelve most popular flowers in order of popularity from a list of twenty. The competition ran for two months, November and December 1924, payments to winners were just in time for Christmas. Since its founding in 1898 as a hospital for treating skin and Genito-Urinary diseases, but specialising in the treatment of Venereal Disease at Red Lion Square, the Hospital had struggled to finance its free services and relied on wealthy donors. The Hospital moved to Endell Street in Covent Garden and occupied the former British Lying in Hospital and began to receive patients in 1923. For the reverse view see link.
