- Description:
- Postcard (color, divided back, 3 ½ x 5½ inches) titled MacDonald - The postcard features the clan crest and an inset depicting a Royal Stag, surrounded by the clan tartan border. The Royal Stag is featured in “The Monarch of the Glen” one of the most famous British pictures of the nineteenth century
for many people it encapsulates the grandeur and majesty of Scotland’s highlands and wildlife. Here Landseer depicts a monumental and precisely defined ‘royal’ or twelve point stag. No descriptive text on reverse. Postage affixed: 2 1/2d red Queen Elizabeth stamp. Postmarked Oban Argyll 22 July 1962. Card number: 1753. *Note: The Valentine Company, a lithographic printing firm, was founded in 1825 in Dundee, Scotland by John Valentine. His son James became an early pioneer of photography and by the 1860’s his work was being reproduced by the Valentine Company as prints and stereo-views. In 1880 Valentine began producing Christmas cards and by 1896 they began printing postcards. Up until 1882 they had only published views of Scotland. Colourtone cards were issued in the 1930’s and printed at tinted halftones. They continue using lithographic dots of fawn rather than yellow, and their blues and reds tend to be distinct. They are distinguished by thick Tartan patterned borders with symbolic elements added. - Metadata URL:
