Sent from a grandma to her grandson Martin. I guess she thought he would appreciate this pretty little girl. I sure do! She is adorable.

A lovely British postcard, printed in Germany. Printing techniques and card designs at that time were superior in Germany.  The printing press was invented there and subsequently the industry had already developed.


The postcard measures 5 1/2 inches by 3 1/2 inches

Condition
In very good condition, slight stubbing to corners. Slight discolouration.

Written on and franked 1933.

Antique British Postcard, Real Photo Raphael Tuck Series Kings and Queens, Embellished with Gold Gilt Border, Poet Robert Harrick

https://www.etsy.com/listing/1713746448/antique-british-postcard-real-photo-from

An interesting and intriguing postcard. The series 5777 stamp is overwritten by the message so not to sure of the details, but it’s clear that the postcard is part of a Raphael Tuck series about Kings and Queens.

Under the portrait there is a quotation ´Clear are Her Eyes Like Purest Skies’ so maybe Raphael Tuck is using this text by poet Robert Herrick to enhance a portrait of Elizabeth I.

Written on the back and franked

The postcard measures 5 1/2 inches by 3 1/2 inches

Condition
The postcard was printed on a highly polished medium which unfortunately shows up the slightest mark. There are therefore quite a few surface creases on the postcard which are visible when held to the light.

A lovely photo that has captured the spirit of the sweet child model. I love the green cloak. We cannot see very much of it, just enough to know that the design is no doubt a delight. Published by ‘National Series’ which is a highly popular collectible company.

Will, however, look great in an album. Please see photos.
