History
Newman also published under the name of Oscar Newman Company. There were 132 postcards distributed by the Oscar Newman Company of Los Angeles and San Francisco. The illustrations of eighteen missions and two Capillas were printed in Germany prior to World War I and later in the United States.[1]
After the 1906 San Francisco earthquake, Newman sold a set of Earthquake Post Cards.[2]
In 1908, photographer and publisher Charles Weidner sold his scenic post card business to the Newman Post Card Company of Los Angeles. Newman later moved to a San Francisco sales office on 2nd Street. Newman worked with Edward H. Mitchell for the February 1911, formation of Exposition Publishing Co., which was an organization that captured the souvenir post card business for the 1915 Panama–Pacific International Exposition.[3][4]
