The Theft of Mona Lisa

More of my old cards of Mona Lisa.




I have never been certain about the date of issue of the four cards above. They depict in sequence: "Once upon a time there was a portrait of a woman called 'La Joconde'..." continuing as the thief (barefoot), runs away as the guard sleeps; then as a painter paints "The 4 Nails from La Joconde, ordered by an American;" and finally show how the thief sleeps with the stolen painting.
