About This Item
The postcard measures 3 3/4" x 5 1/2" and is in fine, unused condition. "Pop" Ernest Doelter was an entrepreneur and restaurateur at the turn of the last century. At a critical period in Monterey history, he came along and turned Abalone into an American delicacy - discovering its many uses and creating an entire industry around the food. He subsequently opened his "Abalone and Seafood Restaurant" and enlisted Jo Mora to create his menus in exchange for his Abalone dinners. Jo worked with his good friend and noted artist, Armin Hansen, to create the menu and postcard designs; Jo drew the illustrations and the hand-lettering was done by Hansen.
