Description
Postcard America: Curt Teich and the Imaging of a Nation, 1931-1950
This comprehensive study explores the cultural significance of linen postcards, which were incredibly popular in the United States during the Great Depression and early postwar years.
The book delves into the production process of these colorful images, revealing how photographic views were transformed into postcard images through manipulation and collage. It presents two extensive portfolios of postcards, showcasing a representative iconography of linen postcard views, and provides historical interpretation and social context for each image.
