• George Sand (1804-1876). Her fictional heroines always combined passion of spirit, body, and intellect, reflecting Sand's own rebellious, brilliant life. She dressed, spoke, and loved as she pleased, despite public outcry. Her 120 books attest to her genius, though few are available in English. Margaret Fuller, visiting the great Frenchwoman in 1847, wrote: "What fixed my attention was the expression of goodness, nobleness and power that pervaded the whole .… it made me very happy to see such a woman. I loved, shall always love her."

From Women Making History: The Revolutionary Feminist Postcard Art of Helaine Victoria Press by Julia M. Allen and Jocelyn H. Cohen

  • Part of the Women in History accordion album of 8 postcards, Helaine Victoria’s premier offering, showcasing their creative letterpress style and craft. 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, 4 ¼” x 6".
