The Postcard
A postally unused Phototype Series postcard that was published by Raphael Tuck & Sons, Art Publishers to Their Majesties the King and Queen. The card was phototyped in Great Britain, and distributed by S. E. Abdul Rasool of Trinco, Ceylon (now Sri Lanka).
Although the card was not posted, someone has used a pencil in order to write a brief message across the divided back:
"To Ethel,
With fondest love.
From Alf. xx"
Raphael Tuck
Raphael Tuck and his wife started their photography business in 1866 in London. Their store sold pictures, greeting cards, and in time, postcards.
Their success came from the sale of postcards during the late 1890’s and early 1900’s. In the early 1900’s the firm conducted postcard competitions for collectors of Tuck postcards. These competitions offered cash prizes, and they were very popular.
The winner of one of these competitions had a collection consisting of over twenty-five thousand cards.
Three of Tuck’s four sons participated in the business. The company was devastated by German bombing during World War II. In 1959 the company merged with two other printing companies.

The Sri Lankan junglefowl (Gallus lafayettii), also known as the Ceylon junglefowl, is a member of the Galliformes bird order which is endemic to Sri Lanka, where it is the national bird. It is closely related to the red junglefowl (G. gallus), the wild junglefowl from which the chicken was domesticated. The specific name of the Sri Lankan junglefowl commemorates the French aristocrat Gilbert du Motier, marquis de La Fayette. In Sinhala it is known as වළි කුකුළා (Wali Kukula)[2] and in Tamil it is known as இலங்கைக் காட்டுக்கோழி (Ilaṅkaik kāṭṭukkōḻi).
One feature of our trip to Sri Lanka was Tea. I have never had so much tea in a single day. Tea is ordered as pots of tea. And I had tea like how it is to be had. Black. What a wonderful feeling it was in Nuwar Eliya amidst the tea plantations...
