“Timber – – My Kingdom For A Tree…..”

Comical postcard showing black and white drawing of a dog running through the desert, in desperate need of a tree. It looks like that might be the artist’s initials of “S. C.” at the bottom right. Although the back does not show a divider, this postcard seems to more vintage than antique. No duplicates of this card are showing up online, as of the date of this post…The expression “My kingdom for a …” is credited to Shakespeare from his line in Richard III:   “A horse, a horse! My kingdom for a horse!”

Unused postcard. Possibly artist-signed. Circa 1960s.

Price:  $10.00
