"The Fable Restaurant" Postcard
Dublin Core
Title
"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.
