Authorized Images: Famous Authors Seen Through Antique and Vintage Postcards
Ralph Waldo Emerson, Nathaniel Hawthorne, Louisa May Alcott, Henry David Thoreau:
No other small town in the United States can claim as many renowned creative writers among its former residents as Concord, Massachusetts. Of this quartet of names, all but Thoreau were nationally famous while they were alive. By the time picture postcards became widely available in the 1890s all four writers were in the canon of American letters, a distinction reflected in the high number of antique postcards of them published during the Golden Age of the medium. This volume offers an impressively broad selection of those pioneering depictions.
