A set of Postcards collected by Keith Rowntree mainly date from the early years of the Leeds Training College. Some describe the buildings as new. Two refer to the buildings as the Military Hospital which would date them to between 1914-18 although the hospital had a presence on site until 1927. Publishers of the postcards include local Leeds firms of H. Burniston, Pickard and Sons and Holland & Co..

These letters were written by the portrait painter Howard Somerville to M. T. Woodhouse a Senior Tutor at the City of Leeds Training College. They are concerned with the commission of a portrait of retiring Principal of the College, Dr. John R. Airey. Somerville had earlier been commissioned to paint the portrait of Airey's predecessor Walter Parsons. It seems Somerville as a favour to the College reduced his rates for the Airey commission.
