[1924], 4pp, 48 loosely mounted postcards (complete), brown cloth boards, gilt titles, light brown plain dustwrapper, box. Apart from the 4pp at the start of the album coming loose due to rusty staples, the album and cards are in as new condition, the dustwrapper is a touch edge worn and the box is a little worn with one flap missing. The contract to publish postcards of Queen Mary's dolls' house was won by Raphael Tuck & Sons and 48 postcards in 6 series of 8 were sold in a blue box, together with an album that held all 48 cards. The album appears in (at least) 3 variants - the one in brown cloth that we have, another in brown cloth with 'Souvenir issued by Fleetway Press Ltd at the British Empire Exhibition 1924' (Fleetway were the Exhibition's official publishers) and in red cloth (perhaps for presentation?). The album would have been on sale at the British Empire Exhibition at which the Dolls' House was on display. All the proceeds from the cards and albums were distributed to various charities. A rare album, hard to find a better example.…

Store description
A member of the Provincial Booksellers Fairs Association (PBFA), I have been a nearly full time bookseller since the mid 2000s working from home in Bristol. I concentrate on books on transport (mainly railways), industrial history, maritime, topography, the Beatles & other groups from the 1960s and interesting ephemera. I particularly specialise in official publicity of the British railway companies. I sell on ABE, on eBay under the moniker 'mr.publicity' and at book and transport collectors' fairs. I keep a modest stock of quality material which is constantly changing - I spend a good deal of my time travelling around the UK seeking out and acquiring new stock. …
