Great Britain: Raphael Tuck & Sons Ltd., ordinary £1 shares, 19[33], #9818, vignette of the late Raphael Tuck and Raphael House below title, brown printing. German born, Tuck settled in England in 1865 and opened a picture framing shop in the 1880's which greatly expanded when his three sons entered the business to become importers and publishers. The firm is best known for their greeting cards and postcards, widely collected today. By 1904 the firm had over 15,000 designs in print, many reproducing works by well known artists of the day. Sadly Raphael House was destroyed by bombing in 1940 and many originals and records were lost . The company continued until the mid 1960's when they were acquired by Purnell & Sons. AVF and rare. The only example known.
