Vintage Zoo Postcard

This Vintage Zoo Postcard shows a 1950's, classic television style family on a weekend excursion. This mid century modern, minimalist art design features a cartoon drawing of a perfect day at the zoo. Yes, it's a beautiful day for a family outing and you've come to the right place. Step through the wrought iron gate, beneath the yellow sign with red lettering that says, "ZOO." Once inside, you'll see an orange, stone pathway flanked by lush, green grass. In a large cage, you'll notice the majestic lion. This orange and yellow king of the jungle is keeping his eyes on an adorable, blonde girl in a pink dress, who, coincidentally, is keeping her eyes on him. On the opposite side of the walkway, you can't miss the towering, yellow and brown giraffe in a round enclosure. He is at eye level with the swaying palm tree in the background. A young, boyish scamp wearing a bright, red shirt and blue jeans is in a hurry to get somewhere. Oh, my! It looks like he's making a beeline to a zookeeper. The keeper of the zoo is dressed appropriately in khaki shorts, shirt, and hat. What's that he's holding? A monkey! And what's that the money is holding? A banana! Folks, it does not better than this! Standing on the walkway, we see Dad. Whew! I'm glad to see he knows it pays to look your best, even on a day off from the office. He is wearing a blue suit, light blue shirt and red tie. Dad is handing off three balloons, in shades of orange, blue and red to Mom. Mom is wearing a blue dress with a form fitting bodice and flared skirt. Her flippy, blonde hairstyle is most becoming. The sky is shades of aqua, teal and blue and is filled with magical, white stars. Just like the zoo itself, this design is fun for the whole family and is perfect for children of all ages.
