"The Fable Restaurant" Postcard

Description

1925? "The Fable Restaurant" postcard with mural 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. $15.65 from Jill Curran, Little Rock, AR, through Ebay, May, '99. Extra copy for $10.76 from Dan Vidaurri, Chico, CA, through Ebay, Oct., '00.

The upper 2/3 of the card is "one of the Fable Murals by the noted California Artist Jo Mora." It pictures a parade of animal waiters led by a pig wearing a chef's hat. The card is not written on on the back. The picture side of the card is linen-like. I was lucky: another exemplar of this card sold a month earlier on Ebay for $10 more.
