- Description:
- Postcard (color, oilette, divided back, 3 1/2 x 5 1/2 inches) titled The Graham - Text on reverse: The Clan Graham – Few families can boast of more historical renown. Their founder, according to tradition, was a famous warrior who in 420 breached the wall which bounded the Roman occupation of Scotland. The chief of the Grahams was a strong support of Sir William Wallace who freed Scotland from the English yoke. At the Battle of Flodden, in 1513, the head of the house fell by the King’s side.” The Great Montrose” is an imperishable memory in Scottish history. He was devoted to the Stuart cause and died on the scaffold in 1650. The present head of the family is the Duke of Montrose. The battle march was “Killiecrankie” and the badge “Laural.” Clan Series IV 9459. 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.
