Condition and Identification Note
Fair vintage condition with pronounced uneven toning from previous album storage. Lighter geometric areas on the front and reverse show where album mounts protected portions of the paper. Minor spots, surface wear, and edge and corner wear are also present. The reverse has a small blue-green mark near the upper center. The artwork, caption, printed number, Zito signature, and studio emblem remain clear. This is a period printed card, not an original drawing or individually hand-colored artwork. Please review both photographs carefully.
Additional numbered Zito cards are available separately. Combined shipping is available when multiple cards are purchased in the same transaction.
