- Description:
- Postcard (color, oilette, divided back, 3 1/2 x 5 1/2 inches) titled The MacKenzie –Text on reverse: The MacKenzie – This clan is one of pure Scot-Gaelic descent. Their territory is in in the north of Scotland, and they could place 2,500 men in the field. Their war cry was “Turlach Ard,” the name of the mountain in Kintail, and their badge “Holly.” The Earl of Seaforth, a former chief, raised from the clan in 1793 the famous Ross-shire Buffs, now known as the Seaforth Highlanders. The Countess of Cromartie is possessor in her own right of several of the family titles, and is head of an important branch of the clan. There are several baronets of this ancient name. 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.
