An interesting and intriguing postcard. The series 5777 stamp is overwritten by the message so not to sure of the details, but it’s clear that the postcard is part of a Raphael Tuck series about Kings and Queens.
Under the portrait there is a quotation ´Clear are Her Eyes Like Purest Skies’ so maybe Raphael Tuck is using this text by poet Robert Herrick to enhance a portrait of Elizabeth I.
Written on the back and franked
The postcard measures 5 1/2 inches by 3 1/2 inches
Condition
The postcard was printed on a highly polished medium which unfortunately shows up the slightest mark. There are therefore quite a few surface creases on the postcard which are visible when held to the light.
