Here's a 1904 Fred Opper postcard sporting an iconic image of Happy Hooligan. The reverse offers no publisher's information, so it would seem reasonable to assume that this was a freebie included with the Sunday Hearst papers. However, I'm used to those being on really cheap pulpy paper, and this one is on good quality postcard stock. So ...?
That's a beauty! Great colour! Speaking as a devoted Opper fa, of course . . .
ReplyDeleteIt isn't one of the Hearst supplement cards, it might be published by Kaufman & Strauss, in New York.
