John Hinde was born on 17 May 1916 in Street, Somerset, the great grandson of James Clark, the founder of C.J. Clark Ltd., the shoemakers, of which his father was a director. During the Second World War he acted as a war photographer while also being pre-occupied with the reproduction of colour photographs in books. In 1956 he founded John Hinde Ltd., printer and publisher of postcards (or viewcards as he preferred to call them). Each postcard was retouched and colour intensified to depict a sunny, happy, rural Ireland. In 1963 the firm moved to a new factory in Cabinteely, Co. Dublin. Hinde sold his interest in the company in 1972 when the company's sales were in excess of 50 million a year. Following his retirement he moved to the Continent where he lived in France and Spain until his death in December 1997.
