Vintage Reprints

These are some more "vintage reprints" that I bought at Ocean State Job Lot. Couldn't resist buying them!

This is a painting by Abbott Handerson Thayer, 1849-1921. The painting is called "My Children". It was painted in 1897.

This is a photo of Ezra Loomis Pound. He was an American poet and critic and author of the "Cantos". This was taken near his studio in the Latin Quarter, Paris, in 1924.

I think everyone knows who this is. Mahatma Gandhi was an Indian political and spiritual leader. This photo was taken at 10 Downing Street, London, in 1931.


This is Herman Melville, an American author. On the back it states that his novel, "Moby Dick" (1851) is considered by many to be the pinnacle of American fiction.

This is W.C. Fields (1879-1946), who was an American comedy film star. I really like the coloring on this one!

This is the Library at Lucknow University, 1936. It's ink and watercolor on colored paper and it was done by Walter Burley Griffen.

This is a poster for a Sculpture Exhibition. It is believed to have been done by Vera Block. The object on the poster is Maurice Glickman's "Destitute (Mother and Child)".


This is "Strong Woman and Child", 1925. It was painted by Yasuo Kuniyoshi.


I love this one. It's John Belushi (1949-82).


This is from the de.fin'i.tive cat by Ilyse Segal. To be honest, I have no idea what the de.fin'i.tive cat is.

I totally love this one. It's Sarah Bernhardt, a French actor. The photo was by W&D Downey, London c. 1900.

This is "The Annunciation with Saints and Donors", called the "Latour d'Auvergne Triptych", c. 1497.

This is a photo of Agatha Christi, an English author, c. 1940.

This is a photo of Edith Wharton, an American novelist (1862-1937). She was the author of "The House of Mirth" and "The Age of Innocence".

This is Robert E. Lee, an American soldier. He was the leader of the armies of the Confederacy during the Civil War. The photo was by Mathew Brady, April 1865.

I think this one is so interesting. That chair is just.. weird, but I like it! This photo was taken by Ira Nowinski in 1976.

This is Helen Hayes (b. 1900). She is known as "The First Lady of American Theater", known for her range and versatility in performing in the theater, movies, radio, and television.

This is "Boys in men's room", New York City. The photo is by Neal Graham.
