- Description:
- Postcard (color, divided back, 3 ½ x 5 ½ inches) titled Fraser - The card features the clan crest and an inset depicting Luss Straits, Loch Lomond, surrounded by the clan tartan border. Loch Lomond is a freshwater loch, the largest inland stretch of water in Great Britain, home to 22 islands surrounding its body of water. Splitting the Scottish Highland Boundary Fault Line, Loch Lomond acts as a gateway from the Lowlands to the Highlands. No descriptive text on reverse. Card number 323X *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.
