• Page 131 →Margaret Fuller (1810-1850). American woman of letters, social critic and Transcendentalist. She was a leader in founding and defining a true American literature and culture. Her perfect understanding of woman’s place in society is seen in her Woman in the 19th Century. She edited the Dial, the brilliant voice of Transcendentalist expression. Her life was passionately devoted to human dignity and liberty, and she was directly involved with the Italian Resurgence. Garden heliotrope (front of card) was her personal symbol.

Jocelyn and Nancy created this shortly after setting up their letterpress shop in Indiana. Their new logo, Columbia, appeared on the back cover of the album. Although the two of them produced many ambitious pieces of ephemera, this may have been the most ambitious on every level. Eight new postcards in an elegant handmade album folder, designed, printed, and bound by Jocelyn Cohen and Nancy Poore. Printed letterpress in black with silver detail, 4 ¼” x 6".
