This postcard is stamped on the reverse by Ben Friedman of Postermat. The Postermat franchise had 3 stores in the 60s. One in New York (run by Joan & Marty Gisler), one in Los Angeles (run by Fred Gisler their son), and one in San Francisco which Ben Friedman ran. They also had a related printing and distribution business Personality posters which supplied their stores and others.

 

This original postcard for the Peacock Ball is one of artist Victor Moscoso's most popular designs from the series. You can clearly see the progression of his artistic style develop with groundbreaking experimentation throughout the series. This postcard offers the same popular and iconic art for far less than an original first-printing poster currently commands!
