An "Oilette" postcard of "In the Linen Room", The Queen's Dolls' House (later to be known as Queen Mary's Dolls' House), produced by Raphael Tuck and Sons ("Tuck's Postcards") catalogue number 4503-8. These postcards started to be produced in 1924, when the dollhouse first went on public display.

IV: 4503: IN THE LINEN ROOM.

We gasp with amazement at the care displayed on every detail in the Queen's Dolls' House. Here in the picture of the Linen Room there is a Singer Sewing Machine that actually works. The reel of thread is no larger than a match-head and there are 6 dozen of these reels. Note also the Wicker Linen Baskets, on which are displayed some of the towels, pillow slips, and other household linen, all marked with the Royal monogram.
