As this Bristol calendar became very popular interest started growing in other areas, so we are, (with the help of local museums and private collections), continually extending our range, keeping the past and present theme. We now produce an extensive range of period pictures, along with some of the more popular modern views, in greeting card form and as mounted pictures for framing. __________ You can contact Past & Present Publications at:-

Our original company, Victoria Press, specialized in printing
and publishing books, newspapers and magazines. It so happened back in 1997, we
were printing books for one Mr Peter Davey, featuring his unique collection of
old pictures, some of which dated from as early as 1895. The theme of his
collection was trams and buses in Bristol and surrounding areas. Mr Davey and
ourselves thought that it would be a good idea to make historical pictures like
these more readily available for everyone to see, and after something of a
brainstorming session we agreed on the idea and format of our "Past and
Present" calendars. Each page of the calendars has one archive picture,
usually from about 100 years ago, and one modern picture taken of the same
location. There are two sizes, A3 (420 × 297mm) and A4 (297 × 210mm). The A3
size is printed on one side only, so that at the end of the year the pictures
can be kept and framed. Ideal if you are interested in the local history of your
area. We selected pictures of a more general content, and produced our
first calendar. And so Past and Present Publications was formed.
