Greetings from Delaware is a rare examination of the history of hand-made greeting cards by professional American artists from the first half of the twentieth century.

The catalog is completed by an examination of prominent American artist colonies throughout the United States.

The first half of the book was good, then got a little boring with the artist's biographies. Not enuff photos of the art.

Loved seeing all the greeting cards and learning about the artists who created them! Very cool!
