context_page_description: Purger & Co. was a German printing house, based at Mozartstraße 13, Munich, Germany. The founder of the company was most probably named Adolf Purger. The company was known for the coloured postcards it produced in the beginning of the 20th century. The postcards were printed in three colour chromolithography, a system called photochrome, with the indication Photochromiekarte. The company was printing not only postcards for their own account, but also for other companies, as was the case of the colour postcards of the Krikelli's series of Tinos, Greece.
  Purger & Co. was active at least during the period 1899-1920 and produced cards from all around Europe and the Mediterranean basin in photo-chromolithography.
  The cards of Purger & Co. were numbered initially at the bottom of the postcard's face, but later on the reverse side.
  A review in 1907 mentions Purger & Co. as a specialized company for the production of cards of excellent quality and great variety and makes special note about their colours which are reproduced through such perfected process that the graduation of colour merit appreciative recognition.
