Envelope from Germany to Thames Photographic Co. with Photochemie logo

A letter sent from Germany to a British company named The Thames Photographic Co. Unfortunately, no definitive information is available about this company. However, it is believed that it might have been among the photographic material manufacturers or suppliers in England. On the back of the envelope, the logo "Photochemie Berlin N113" can be seen.

Photochemie was a publisher with its own photographic printing plant, and it mainly produced postcards using gravure printing. Starting from 1907, the company used its triangular logo on postcards featuring various models such as children, women, and couples. Between 1914 and 1919, the company also produced an extensive series of German film stars. However, in these series, the company name was used instead of the triangular logo.
