Description

🕊 This vintage 1960s Martin Luther King memorial postcard is a powerful new old stock (NOS) tribute in the harder‑to‑find large 9" x 6" format. Illustrated in Washington, D.C. by Sum Ho Bun Lee, the front carries his portrait of Dr. King with the American flag and “I HAVE A DREAM” banner; the back reads, “He left for the mountaintop to witness the glories of the Lord.—Dr. Martin Luther King, 1929–1968.”

📬 Printed and distributed by AAA Novelty Co., Washington, D.C., these oversized cards were sold in the late 1960s as both mailable tributes and frame‑ready keepsakes. Most listings you see today are for smaller standard postcards; this 9" x 6" version fills a frame and really lets the artwork breathe.

⛰️ The wording on the back reaches directly to Dr. King’s final sermon, “I’ve Been to the Mountaintop,” delivered in Memphis the night before his assassination, where he spoke of having “seen the promised land.” Paired with the “I HAVE A DREAM” banner on the front, it bridges his most famous speech and his final message of faith and courage.

🖼️ Because this card is NOS, the stock is clean and bright, the corners are crisp, and the address and stamp areas are untouched—no writing, no postal marks, no tape shadows. At 9" x 6", it slides beautifully into a standard 8" x 10" mat or a larger frame and makes meaningful wall art for a home office, classroom, church foyer, or gallery wall.

You will receive one original vintage 1960s large‑format 9" x 6" Martin Luther King memorial postcard, Sum Ho Bun Lee artwork, AAA Novelty Co., Washington, D.C., in clean, bright NOS, unused condition—ready to frame or send.
