“The Marble Arch was originally erected by George IV. at the entrance to Buckingham Palace, but was removed to Hyde Park in 1851, and now serves as the principal entrance to the Park from Oxford Street. Near to the Marble Arch, where now is Connaught Place, formerly stood Tyburn Tree, the place of public execution prior to 1783.”

In continuing with a mini Great Britain theme, here’s a Tuck’s postcard, artist unknown. The bottom right of the card shows the image of their “Oilette” trademark. The estimated date is 1906, per a dated card showing up online on eBid at the time this was posted.
