THE QUEEN DOLS' HOUSE - A series of 44 postcards featuring the Queen Victoria's Royal Dollhouse. All the postcards are published by Raphael Tuck & Sons and on the back of each of them is the caption: ART PUBLISHERS TO THEIR MAJESTIES THE KING & QUEEN. London, c. 1900.
'The Doll's House' is the inner and outer structure of Queen Victoria's British Royal Palace. It includes the royal furniture, cutlery, living room decor, the Queen's carriage, the royal weapons, and the rest of the accessories that were used in Queen Victoria's British royal court. The various exhibits appear in color in a high-quality lithographic print. On the back of each postcard is an accurate description of the item that appears on its various parts, size, and a detailed description of the material from which it was made - gold, diamonds, silver, woodcut, etc. Some of the postcards even feature exhibits some of which are currently on display in a museum in London (such as the nursery, and others).
The English Jewish Tuck distribution plant opened in London as early as the 1870s. In the world of photographs and the first postcards ever published, a place of honor is save for Tuck and Sons' agency. Thanks to the beautiful postcards he created that were considered groundbreaking in the field of graphics at the time, he was chosen to supply graphic materials to the British royal court. Tuck employed the best graphic artists and designers, and due to the demand he supplied his products 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 excelled in printing Jewish 'Happy New Year' postcards.
