Sockl and Nathan

Sockl and Nathan were a 19th-century British greeting card and publishing company with headquarters in London.

The business, based at 4 Hamsell Street, City of London, was very successful for a time and obtained a Royal Warrant.

Often its cards did not bear the company name, but were simply marked "copyright" because of fear of persecution due to "Nathan" being a Jewish name.

[2][3] After a fire in an adjacent property caused extensive damage to its stock, the company struggled to survive.

Eventually, it fell into decline, due mainly to competition from the emerging industry of mass-produced greeting cards.
