New York: The Museum of Modern Art, [1980]. 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. Near fine. Item #473
Price: $55.00
