- Description:
- Postcard (color, oilette, divided back, 3 1/2 x 5 1/2 inches) titled The Murray – The inset shows a depiction of Blair Castle. Text on reverse: The Clan Murray. A family of the first rank in Scottish history. They are said to have come originally from Morayshire about the 12th century, their territory being situated in the Perthshire Highlands. Their head is the Duke of Atholl, a name of constant occurrence in national affairs, and quite a number of peers and baronets are descended from the family, including the Earl of Dunmore, an important supporter of the Stuart cause at the 1688 revolution, and the Earl of Mansfield, a famous statesman, buried in Westminster Abbey in 1793. At one time the family had the sovereignty of the Isle of Man, which was afterwards sold to the Government. The badge is “Juniper”. "Scottish Clans" Series III 9458. 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.
