Empie Kartoon Kards
Empie Kartoon Kards are one of the first copyrights for western cartoon postcards. Arizona's territorial native Hal Empie originated these designs during the early 1930's in Duncan, Arizona.
You'll recognize drawings by Hal Empie appearing as as early as 1938 in such publications as Arizona Highways. Before Mr. Empie elected to devote his love of art full time to oil painting, his famous Kartoon Kards had become an Arizona legend. They sold throughout the world for over thirty years with wholesale accounts in 38 states. Original printings of the postcards are preserved in permanent collections at both the Special Collection Research Center at Syracuse, University Library, New York, and the National Museum of American History, Smithsonian. In 1980 a selection of Empie Kartoon Kards were re-publishd....available today!! Empie Kartoon Kard postcards have sold over 80 years!!!
