- Postcard (color, oilette, divided back, 3 1/2 x 5 1/2 inches) titled The MacGreoor- Text on reverse: The MacGregors– The ancient territory of this clan was in the vicinity of Loch Tay. The claim descent from Alpin, King of Scotland about 787. An untamable and warlike tribe. During the seventeenth century they were proscribed, their name suppressed, and their lands forfeited. The Macgregors were called the Children of the Mist. Their war cry was “Ard-coille” (Woody Height), and their badge “Pine Tree.” The famous Rob Roy need only be mentioned. 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.
