Vintage 1960s MLK Martin Luther King Memorial Postcard Large 9x6 NOS Sum Ho Bun Lee DC đ
đ This vintage 1960s Martin Luther King memorial postcard is a powerful new old stock (NOS) tribute in the harderâtoâfind large 9" x 6" format. Illustrated in Washington, D.C. by Sum Ho Bun Lee, the front carries his portrait of Dr. King with the American flag and âI HAVE A DREAMâ banner; the back reads, âHe left for the mountaintop to witness the glories of the Lord.âDr. Martin Luther King, 1929â1968.â
đŹ Printed and distributed by AAA Novelty Co., Washington, D.C., these oversized cards were sold in the late 1960s as both mailable tributes and frameâready keepsakes. Most listings you see today are for smaller standard postcards; this 9" x 6" version fills a frame and really lets the artwork breathe.
â°ď¸ The wording on the back reaches directly to Dr. Kingâs final sermon, âIâve Been to the Mountaintop,â delivered in Memphis the night before his assassination, where he spoke of having âseen the promised land.â Paired with the âI HAVE A DREAMâ banner on the front, it bridges his most famous speech and his final message of faith and courage.
đźď¸ Because this card is NOS, the stock is clean and bright, the corners are crisp, and the address and stamp areas are untouchedâno writing, no postal marks, no tape shadows. At 9" x 6", it slides beautifully into a standard 8" x 10" mat or a larger frame and makes meaningful wall art for a home office, classroom, church foyer, or gallery wall.
You will receive one original vintage 1960s largeâformat 9" x 6" Martin Luther King memorial postcard, Sum Ho Bun Lee artwork, AAA Novelty Co., Washington, D.C., in clean, bright NOS, unused conditionâready to frame or send.
