On Oct. 10, 1896, The New York Times announced, "We begin to-day the publication of a Supplement which contains reviews of the new books ..." What has followed, over the subsequent 125 years, is an evolution of literary journalism - reviews, news, essays and interviews that have shaped the course of American letters.
This notecard set includes two sets of four assorted letterpress A6 cards (4.5" x 6.25") on thick 100% cotton stock with blind embossed envelopes in Imperial Blue, Candy Pink, Emerald Green, and Pale Grey. The headlines read:
