Description An account of the resource Notes: The manufacturer of this post card was as local as you can get in a business that was overrun by enterprising startups. On several occasions Emma and other correspondents mention that they have bought more cards for Jennie’s collection. Those additional cards might have been mailed within a package or enclosed in an envelope with a letter. This is a rare example of one. Perhaps it was kept because it was written on. Anyway, the card is paired with another that was sent from Connecticut and pictures the same resort. Publisher An entity responsible for making the resource available Published by Selden B.

At first glance it might be hard to imagine what Emma was thinking of when sending this card. However, the sinking of the Lusitania – with the loss of 1,200 lives – had just taken place the month before. It is safe to say war was in the air and it must have been clear to her that Olney could end up in it. Publisher An entity responsible for making the resource available Published by C. D.

Title A name given to the resource Nov. 15, 1912 A Subject The topic of the resource Pawtucket, R.I. Lafayette’s House. Built in 1700 Description An account of the resource Notes: One cumulative impression to be drawn from these cards is the dawning historical sensibility of the age. People looked around and saw vestiges of the past that they wished to capture in images. This sensibility doesn’t necessarily translate into architectural preservation, however. Layfayette’s House (to my knowledge) didn’t get the special treatment that eventually Slater’s Mill would. So, clearly, Olney’s in the service as of this date. Compare Emma’s card to this one published by Bosselman (I think). It gives you some sense of the style that characterized the Leighton cards as well as the majority of the other Pawtucket images (for which we haven’t any identification of the manufacturer): Publisher An entity responsible for making the resource available The Hugh C.

Title A name given to the resource July 18, 1911 A Subject The topic of the resource Hotel Clarendon, Washington and Johnson Streets, Brooklyn, N.Y. Description An account of the resource Notes: “Air ship,” like “photo play,” was not yet a compound word, let alone an “airplane” or a “movie.” “last Sunday” would have been July 16th, 1911. Emma mailed a post card showing bathers at Coney Island on the 16th. In all likelihood, she and Rhoda were watching the flight taking off from what would become Floyd Bennett Field, just east of the beach, or the Naval Air Station on the Rockaway Peninsula, located across the mouth of Jamaica Bay and directly opposite Coney Island. This would be the first of several visits to New York that Emma, her husband, Franklin, and (at least on this occasion) Rhoda, made. She took two subsequent trips in 1914.
