Authorized Images: Famous Authors Seen Through Antique and Vintage Postcards Walt Whitman, Emily Dickinson, Henry Wadsworth Longfellow: American postcard publishers were generally very good in honouring their nation's most celebrated authors by providing buyers with a plethora of picture postcards featuring busts of the writers or images of their homes or other views somehow related to their lives and careers. This was especially true of Longfellow who is represented in this volume by almost 300 different cards. The exception was Emily Dickinson who, being a famous recluse, was almost invisible from the postcard world. The examples in this book are the only ones known related to her from the pioneering decades of postcards.
