About this postcard

The picture, captioned "Dutch Visitors," shows a comic crowd scene centered on a Dutch family in traditional dress and wooden shoes, with amused onlookers in varied costume. It reproduces a black-and-white drawing by British illustrator Tom Browne, colored in Raphael Tuck & Sons' studios. Tuck was a leading London postcard publisher, and Browne was known for humorous character postcards of the early 20th century.
