On the back of the card there is a note that reads: Comptone Place, the beautiful residence of the Duke of Devonshire, is situated between Eastbourne Old Town and the popular and modern seaside resort. The gardens are charmingly laid out, and enjoy the reputation of being one of the finest specimens of landscape gardening, in the country. Once a year, at the annual flower show, the grounds are thrown open to the public, a much appreciated privilege.The card is part of the Oilette series of postcards by Raphael Tuck & Sons i.e. the postcard series from specially commissioned paintings.
