Specificatii
Although he was a native of Bullock County, Alabama, Wade Hall --
teacher, writer, poet, critic, interviewer, folklorist, and
documentarian -- spent most of his fifty-year career in Kentucky.
But he was never emotionally far from his home as evidenced by his
passion for collecting vintage Alabama postcards. In his lifetime
he amassed 10,000, which he then graciously gave to the University
of Alabama Libraries and Troy University in a large joint bequest
that also included rare books, quilts, folk art, letters and more.
These postcards date from the late 1800s to the mid-20th century
and offer a fascinating and diverse picture of the state. The
meaning of postcards that could be purchased as a travel souvenir
is largely forgotten today when cameras are commonplace. But the
value of Hall's stunning collection cannot be missed. The some 400
cards featured in Greetings from Alabama are revealing of scenes
familiar and rare. From Birmingham's Vulcan to Mobile's Bellingrath
Gardens, from Enterprise's boll weevil monument to Huntsville's
rockets, from Helen Keller's home to William Rufus King's resting
place, the scenes offer captivating glimpses of Alabama history.
