John & Co., Ceylon was an early 20th‑century commercial postcard and view‑card publisher based in Colombo (and very likely also Kandy), part of the broader trade in photographic and printed views of colonial Ceylon. The firm was active roughly from the 1900s into at least the 1920s–1930s, with most cards dated by libraries to about 1907–1918. The firm is little documented, but still produced some fine postcards in a market with already high standards fixed by Plate & Co. and The Colombo Apothecaries.
