- Description:
- Postcard (color, oilette, divided back, 3 1/2 x 5 1/2 inches) titled The Stewart, Prince Charles Edward – Text on reverse: There are various ways if spelling this name. The Crown of Scotland, and subsequently of the United Kingdom, passed by marriage into the family, whose founder was of Norman origin. Their war cry was “Creag-au-Sgairbh” (Cormant's Rock), and their badge “Oak” and “Thistle,” the latter now the Scottish national badge. The Stuart cause perished at the battle of Culloden in 1745, when Prince Charles Edward, at the head of the Highland army, made the last attempt to regain the British throne
but the romance of their varying fortunes is inextinguishable. The old line became extinct, and King Edward VII, is present head by collateral descent. 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. - Metadata URL:
