It can be assumed that the two postcards below, while not conclusively identified as being issued by MPSA,  were in all probability, likewise issued by the agency. While they are printed as opposed to being RPPC, the similarities in design, wording, etc. are undeniable and of course, the MPSA was the UK distributor of these Biograph titles.

Mary Pickford Warrens of Virginia - Rahmn Marceau Copyprint and Negative

Mary Pickford as Betty Warren in the Belasco production of The Warrens of Virginia (1907 - 1909.) The original photo was taken by Marceau but this happens to be a copyprint and negative taken by K.O. Rahmn. Reportedly from the Rahmn Estate, but was it? Gifted from the Pamela Short Collection.

Not to be redundant, but written on verso seemingly in Mary's hand: "Mary Pickford as Betty Warren in David Belasco's production 'The Warrens of Virginia' written by William de Mill. (MP's age fourteen years.)"
