Brooding and sublime, this Raphael Tuck & Sons "Framed Gem Oilette" presents Croagh Patrick — Ireland's holiest mountain at 2,570 feet — looming in smoky violet-blue above the southern shore of Clew Bay, County Mayo, its peak shrouded in storm clouds while two figures rest in a wooden currach at the foreground shore and red-sailed fishing boats drift on the silver water beyond. The ornate faux-leather border with gilded corner flourishes and a raised gold caption plate give this card the look of a framed oil painting, perfectly suited for Tuck's aspirational "Framed Gem" branding. The reverse carries a full descriptive text explaining that it was from this summit St. Patrick famously threw his bell, permanently banishing all reptiles from Ireland, and that the chapel on the summit remains a beloved pilgrimage destination on St. Patrick's Day, March 17th. Published as part of "The Emerald Isle" series no. 9775, by appointment to Their Majesties the King & Queen, this pre-linen Edwardian treasure was printed in England and remains unposted with a crisp, undivided-back-era layout. A dealer price sticker of $2.00 appears in pencil at top right.
