Postcards

To the Editor:
As a m em ber of Wisconsin W om en L ib rary

Workers, I was delighted to discover the postcard
featuring Minnie E arl Sears reproduced in Billy R, 
Wilkinson’s article, “Academic Library Postcards” 
(C&RL News, November 1988, p. 649, fig. 4).

Please alert readers of C & RL N ews th a t the
“Muriel Fuller Memorial Postcard Series,” unlike
some of the other postcards pictured, is still avail­
able for purchase from the source. The packet of
five postcards honoring women librarians may be
ordered from Wisconsin W omen Library Workers, 
PO Box 1425, Madison, W I 53701. The cost per set
is $1.75 plus .25 for postage.—Susan E. Searing, 
Wisconsin W om en Library Workers, Madison, 
Wisconsin.

 
 

 
 

 
 

 

To the Editor:
I enjoyed “Academic Library Postcards” by Billy 

R. Wilkinson in the November 1988 C &RL News. 
In partial answer to Wilkinson’s question about 
“hold-to-light” cards; I have never seen such an 
item for an academic library, but I do have a nice 
copy of the Library of Congress, die-cut, ca. 1905 
(with undivided back). It was published by Samuel 
C upples E nvelope C o., St. Louis, M o., “ Sole 
W orld’s Fair Stationers,” but was probably pro­
duced in Germany. I’d be glad to hear from others 
who share this interest.—Siegfried Feller, Chief 
Bibliographer and Associate Director fo r Collec­
tion Development, University o f Massachusetts, 
Amherst. ■ ■
