This postcard is a reproduction of an illustration by Arthur Rackham (1867-1939) from *The Arthur Rackham Fairy Book* (1933). It has the caption "She took then the little key, and opened the door, trembling" and is from the story "Blue Beard".
This full-color postcard is printed on card stock and the reverse is blank except for the descriptive text giving details about the illustration in the lower left-hand corner.
This image was exactingly reproduced by the legendary Green Tiger Press La Jolla, San Diego County, California, in-house on a four-color Heidelberg printing press in the early 1980's: this is an authentic vintage postcard displaying all the attention to detail for which the Green Tiger Press was justifiably famous.
I worked for the Green Tiger Press for a short time when I first moved to California and was an avid collector of their images from children's books. When the business was sold in the mid-1980's, I went to their closing sale and stocked up on books, notecards, bookplates, and postcards.
