TUCK POSTCARDSRaphael Tuck & Sons, London 1866-1960’s
Founded in 1866 by Raphael Tuck, the company became in 1899 the first publisher to print postcards in a larger size that is now call standard. The cards of their lithochrome series (sometimes called photochromes) were not individually numbered but sold in packets of six in which all cards carried the same series number (1000-1099 and 2000-2800’s). This was their largest series covering numerous countries and topics. Many of these sets were marketed to specific geographical locations. They were printed in Germany and Saxony.
