"The Fable Restaurant" Postcard
Dublin Core
Title
"The Fable Restaurant" Postcard
Description
1925? "The Fable Restaurant" postcard with murals by Jo Mora, advertising The Fable Restaurant in San Francisco's Hotel Drake-Wiltshire. 5 3/8" x 3½". C.T. Art-Colortone. Genuine Curteich, Chicago. $10.76 from Dan Vidaurri, Chico, CA, through Ebay, Oct., '00. Extra copy for $8.96 from Hippostcard, Feb., '23.
This card presents "Two of the Famous Fable Murals by Jo Mora." The figures above seem to be individuals gathered around the piano, where a leopardess plays. Thus there are waiters, diners, drinkers. Below are several guitar-playing musicians who seem to have a very lively Flamenco sort of dance going among the five who are dancing. The flaunced skirts of two of these dancers are spectacular!
