Beagle, Art Deco Dog Postcard

Beagle, Art Deco Dog Postcard Between two white marble columns, a tricolor Beagle stands ready for a stroll along the coast in his finest emerald jacket. Rows of gold buttons run down the front, a cream tie sits neatly at his collar, and potted palms in gold urns flank him on both sides. Sailboats and a hillside temple fill the view behind him, and his soft, hopeful eyes make it clear he would happily share a picnic. That friendly charm guides the entire design. The Beagle's tan, white, and black coat is cut in crisp faceted planes, with his long soft ears falling beside a radiant ringed sunburst. Classical columns frame the scene like a seaside pavilion, and a stepped gold frame rises around him in true 1920s fashion. A turquoise bay and drifting clouds meet polished gold, deep emerald, black lacquer, and ruby red. Emerald-marble panels, stepped geometric rails, gold fan crowns at the top and bottom, and a gold paw-print medallion in every corner frame the scene, while the bold black BEAGLE title plaque completes the luxurious Art Deco presentation. The Art Deco styling carries right through to the back. A gold, black, emerald, and ruby frame with gold paw-print corner medallions holds a warm ivory writing field, and a golden dog in a jewelled paw collar sits on a sunlit terrace above the Mediterranean, with cypress, temples, and sailboats bathed in sunset light. The paw-crested Art Deco Postcard Collection emblem, address lines, and stamp box give the Beagle a back as polished as the portrait. • Tricolor Beagle wearing an emerald jacket between marble columns • Radiant Art Deco sunburst, gold buttons, and a neat cream tie • Gold paw-print corner medallions, emerald marble, and ruby accents • Illustrated Mediterranean back with ivory message field, address lines, and stamp box • Part of the Art Deco Postcard Collection
