Dorset Postcard: Weymouth, The Osmington White Horse Hill Figure XT2091.
This postcard features the famous Osmington White Horse, a hill figure cut into the limestone of Sutton Poyntz in 1808 to honor King George III. Uniquely among British hill figures, it depicts the King riding the horse, which local legend suggests offended the monarch because he was shown riding out of the town rather than into it. The figure is 280 feet long and remains a major landmark visible for miles around the Weymouth and Osmington coastline.
This is an unused standard size postcard.
Please also use the image magnifier to make your own assessment on the condition. Please ignore any lines caused by the scanner.
When possible all of our postcards will be posted to you inside a collectable plastic postcard sleeve and a board backed envelope which will be marked 'Please do not bend'.
Any 'Mo's Postcards' watermark does not appear on the actual postcard'.
