Administrative / Biographical History

Raphael Tuck & Sons was a business started by Raphael Tuck and his wife Ernestine in Bishopsgate in the City of London in October 1866. They sold pictures and greeting cards, and eventually selling postcards, which was their most successful line. Their business was one of the best known in the "postcard boom" of the late 1800s and early 1900s. Their contributions left a lasting effect on most of the artistic world. During the Blitz, the company headquarters, Raphael House, was destroyed including the originals for most of their series. The company never fully recovered.
