The postcard factory of the Tuck the English Jew, opened in London as early as the early 1870s. In the world of ancient postcards, 'Tuck & Sons' Agency has a place of honor. Thanks to the beautiful postcards he created that were considered groundbreaking in the field of graphics at the time, he was chosen to provide postcards to the British royal court. On the back of these postcards is the caption: "Art publishers to their majesties the king & Queen", with the British royal emblem. Tuck employed the best graphic artists and designers, and due to demand provided postcards even to the non-Jewish population. In the last decade of the 19th century, Tuck's agency opened a branch to distribute its goods on Broadway in New York, at which time the agency specialized in printing Jewish 'Happy New Year' postcards.
