"Tuck's Post Card": A Chance Discovery on the Internet of Some Delightful Picture Post Cards on Mhow
These 'Tuck's Post Cards' I discovered accidentally while performing a google search are more than 100 year old (the date I got was 23 Sept 1916). This is what is inscribed on the reverse of the cards (italics mine):
Raphael Tuck & Sons' "Art Sepia" Post Cards
Art Publishers to Their Majesties The King and Queen
Kamroodin Mohamedally, Mhow, C India
Printed in England
=========================================
