American Originals… Here’s a chance to feel first hand our wonderful American experience, with some of the things that people wrote by hand, or collected and stuck in an album, elegantly inscribed in autograph books, scrawled in diaries, journals, in letters, on postcards, in the years when our fathers and mothers, and all the generations before them, were building this country. This is a very personal collection… young people, their eyes full of the future, penning elegant poetry to each other, but often including a grim stanza about death; a scrapbook of clippings carefully pasted into a book a century ago...a woman’s collection of her babies’ photos…postcards to and from young soldiers in World War I and World War II...a postcard to a young man about to go to jail. Also, Easter, Christmas, New Year’s, Thanksgiving and Valentine’s cards. You’ll see things from other countries in our collection, too. A letter from an officer in the Royal Navy beseeching his boss, the Admiral, about a matter relating to damage to his ship, in 1821...A scrapbook of postcards from Sweden. These pages are a part of our extensive collection of ephemera. To find more, search ABE.com using keyword “ephemera” or browse through our advertising, educational, history, religious and other catalogues. See our Site Map.
