Vintage Linen Postcard Playful Chimpanzees Tricycle St. Louis Zoo

This charming vintage linen postcard features an endearing scene of two playful chimpanzees riding a red tricycle. The rich texture characteristic of linen postcards from the 1930s to 1940s adds a tactile dimension to the vibrant illustration. The playful nature of the chimpanzees, combined with the whimsical setting, makes it a delightful collectible for both animal lovers and postcard enthusiasts. Published by Gibson Merchandise Co. of St. Louis, MO, and part of the "Colourpicture" series from Boston, this postcard highlights the historic St. Louis Zoo, a popular attraction. The divided back format and linen paper type are typical of postcards produced in the mid-20th century, specifically the 1950s. Its bright colors, classic production technique, and nostalgic theme make it a great addition to collections focusing on vintage wildlife postcards or zoo-related memorabilia.
