- Description:
- Postcard (color, divided back, 3 ½ x 5 ½ inches) titled Royal Stewart - The card features the clan crest and an inset depicting Holyrood Palace, Edinburgh, surrounded by the clan tartan border. The Palace of Holyroodhouse, commonly referred to as Holyrood Palace, is the official residence of the British monarch in Scotland, Queen Elizabeth II. Located at the bottom of the Royal Mile in Edinburgh, at the opposite end to Edinburgh Castle, Holyrood Palace has served as the principal royal residence in Scotland since the 16th century, and is now a setting for state occasions and official entertaining. Queen Elizabeth II spends one week in residence at Holyrood Palace at the beginning of each summer, where she carries out a range of official engagements and ceremonies. No descriptive text on reverse. Postage affixed: 1 1/2d. Postmarked 17 May, 1926, Bridge of Allan, Stirlingshire, Scotland. *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.
