Mainzer Dressed Cats Postcard Images

They were published from the 1940's through the 1960's by Alfred Mainzer Inc. in New York City. The early postcards had a rough finish, brilliant colors, and scalloped ("deckled") edges. The cards were printed in Switzerland, Belgium, Turkey, and Spain. An additional series of Mainzer dressed cats were published as the "Kunzli edition" - these appear to be set in older European environments, and are typically not as brightly colored as the American editions. Mainzer also did a smaller series of "dressed dogs" and "dressed mice," as well as scenic postcards. We've also recently learned that there may be a "dressed hedgehog" series.
