- Description:
- Postcard (color, oilette, divided back, 3 1/2 x 5 1/2 inches) titled The MacAlpine - Text on reverse: The Clan MacAlpine – the origin of this clan is lost in the mists of antiquity. They claim to be the most ancient clan in the Highlands, and boast that they are a Royal race, being descended from Alpine, King of Scotland, who was killed in the year 834. This clan includes the Macgregors, Mackinnons, Grants, and several other branches. The family seat is supposed to have been at Dunstaffnage, near Oban. The war cry was “Remember the death of Alpin” and the badge “Pine Tree.” 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.
