The Real Princess--Vintage Green Tiger Press Postcard

Size: 4.75" x 6.5" (12 x 16.5 cm)

I have gone into my archives and unearthed a stash of vintage Green Tiger Press ephemera that I am listing in my ArtFire shop. This postcard shows "The Real Princess" by Dion Calthrop from The Guide to Fairyland. A regal red-haired princess wearing an elaborately laced silk gown sits in a bed of flowers while her ladies-in-waiting gather in the background; bee skeps are seen in the distance. The last photo shows some additional images that I may be listing in my ArtFire shop.

This image was exactingly reproduced by the legendary Green Tiger Press in La Jolla, San Diego County, California, in-house on a four-color Heidelberg printing press in the early 1980's: this is an authentic vintage postcard displaying all the attention to detail for which the Green Tiger Press was justifiably famous.

I worked for the Green Tiger Press for a short time when I first moved to California and was an avid collector of their images from children's books. When the business was sold in the mid-1980's, I went to their closing sale and stocked up on books, notecards, bookplates, and postcards.

I do have a few of these in stock, so if you would like multiples, please contact me and I will update my listing for the amount you would like.
