"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!
