Beschreibung

Twelve glossy, 7 x 5" black & white picture postcards, dating from the 1920s and 1930s, encased in a pictorial folding card case. Cards in fine, unused state; pictorial card case with minute creases. Photographer Walker Evans began collecting picture postcards as a child, amassing 9,000 of them in his lifetime. Evans, inspired by the concise nature of these images, made postcard-size images of his own photographs in an attempt to have them sold in the late 30s at the Museum of Modern Art where he would later be given his first major exhibition, American Photographs in 1938.
