A cheeky teddy bear balanced on a companion's shoulders stretches to post a letter into a gleaming red British pillar box — Lawson Wood's unmistakable whimsical illustration announces this as a souvenir of Honiton, Devon, with the pun "I'm 'bearing' you in mind" doing the charming heavy lifting. Honiton, famous for its lace-making tradition and its position on the old coaching road through Devon, was a popular holiday destination, and publishers like Valentine's issued these novelty "mailing novelty" fold-out cards to capture the tourist trade. Raising the bear's section reveals a cascading accordion strip of black-and-white photographic views of Honiton: Tracey Bridge, St. Michael's Church, Bishops Tower, High Street (West End), Copper Castle, and more — a miniature tour of the town tucked behind a beloved comic illustration. The Valentine's Series "Printed Paper Mailing Novelty" format was patented and approved by the G.P.O. for the printed paper postage rate, making it both a novelty item and a genuinely mailable souvenir. Lawson Wood (1878–1957) was one of Britain's most beloved comic postcard illustrators, and his bear series remains highly collectible.
