VINTAGE POSTCARD~ALFRED MAINZER,HARTUNG DRESSED CATS~#4754 FLIGHT ATTENDANT SPILLING DINNER ON PASSENGER *** It's sad that these anthropormorphic (animals presented as human) postcards are often only referred to as 'Mainzer Cat' postcards.  Alfred Mainzer was the publisher.  The often forgotten artist was Eugen Hartung (1897-1973).  It's hard to think of other artist illustrated postcards that are commonly associated with the publisher name rather than that of the artist.

The images are great fun and full of detail, children love them.  The cards depict cats, mice, dogs and other animals dealing with life events, the scenes often sparking thoughts of 'what happens next'.
