A fascinating take on the traditional travel post-card by the British Pop artist. A series of photographic scenes fold out from the sepia colored card. The series of images are progressive enlargements of the beach scene on the card. From the edition of approximately 2000 published by Letter Edged in Black Press; this example is one of the 100 signed works. Signed in pencil and annotated "wish you were here."
