More Information


This is a amusing and very collectible, historic and comical postcard showing anthropomorphic lobster. Large oversized head. This is artist signed but I'm not sure who the artist was.

Greg Elwell in the Oklahoma Gazette: "Lobster is fancy. If you imagine a lobster talking, it probably has a British accent. Draw an animated lobster and I bet you’ll include a top hat, a monocle, and an opera cape."

Series 98 -- Gilbert Anderson Hallock Mn

Sent 1912, divided back with light corner bumping and toning. Stamp missing. Hard to make out the postmark.
