- Description:
- Postcard (color, oilette, divided back, 3 1/2 x 5 1/2 inches) titled The Gordon - Text on reverse: The Gordon – The clan has a record back to the time of Malcolm III. The head of the Marquis of Huntly, and one of his ancestors raised the first regiment of Gordon Highlanders. Gordon Castle is the seat of the Huntly family. The badge of the clan is “Ivy,” and their war cry “A Gordon! A Gordon!” Clan Series I 9401. Printed in England. *Note: This card is one of the Scottish Clan Postcards produced by the famous Raphael Tuck Company of London. Each card shows the clan tartan, clan emblem, plant, and either the traditional clan seat or a picturesque landscape from the clan's traditional “stomping ground.” The series was first issued in 1906. It consisted of seven sets of six cards each. Each card was labeled “Oilette” which refers to a particular type of postcard production. In 1883, Queen Victoria granted the firm the Royal Warrant of Appointment. Tuck cards thereafter bore the message, "Art Publishers to Her Majesty the Queen". Future sovereigns continued the warrant of appointment.
