5.0 out of 5 stars Postcard pictures of Harlem circa the drpression, October 16, 2000
This review is from: Harlem: The 30's; Postcard Book: Postcard Book (Postcard Books) (Paperback)
It has been said that a picture can say 1000 words. These postcards are indicative of that. The national museum of art has released a book of postcards by Aaron Siskind entitled Harlem the 30's. A wonderful collection of depression era photographs depicting harlem at that time. Most books about Harlem seem to mostly be preoccupied with the Harlem Renaissance and the people around that time. Harlem the 30's is about a different time a time after the renaissance when the depression hit the country. The collection is a real snapshot of what it was like to live , work, and play in Harlem in the 1930's. These 30 black and white postcards are not of celeberties but of real people from professionals to the street vendors to the children, even the homeless. Well worth it if you are a collector of B&W postcards like myself, or like want to see a good piece of history.

3.0 out of 5 stars Harlem Postcards by Siskind, January 1, 2004
This review is from: Harlem: The 30's; Postcard Book: Postcard Book (Postcard Books) (Paperback)
It was barely worth the four bucks I paid. Most of the pictures were too dark or of poor subject matter. I was born and raised in Harlem, so I know. I kept four of the thirty postcards in the book and threw the rest away.
