Blog Title Graphic Design

My Blog header uses the image from a postcard by A.L.West from a set called “Birds and Blossoms” published by Raphael Tuck & Sons Ltd in 1921.  It is in the public domain. It and scans of many other vintage postcards originally sold by that company can be found at http://tuckdb.org, which is a free database of their cards and postcards.  

Raphael Tuck & Sons Ltd were a significant force in the "postcard boom" of the Victorian era and a major influence in the development and popularity of the Christmas card.  They made a lasting impact on the artistic world because of the wide number of people at all levels of society that their affordable postcards reached.
