Her Majesty the Queen - a rare color photograph published on the occasion of the 60th anniversary of her reign (carte de visite size), published by the Queen's official photographer, the Jew "Raphael Tuck & Sons Ltd Publishers to the Queen". England 1897. Magnificent white frame with leaf and flower Embossed.


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.
