Bonzo the Dog Topical Postcard Collection. A seldom seen accumulation of 81 postcards and 1 trade advertising card, neatly displayed within a Unisafe brand postcard album (with slipcase). Bonzo the dog was the brain-child of British cartoonist George Studdy, who created the fictional cartoon dog in 1922 for a sketch published in "The Sketch" magazine. Although Studdy had multiple cartoon dogs in the past, Bonzo's loveable and expressive looks were instantly loved by the readers. Bonzo became a hit in the UK and in a number of countries across the world, leading to an early version of mass marketing of Bonzo related products. An interesting group, with a playful history worth researching. Estimate =
