    EMILY DICKINSON POSTCARDS Seemingly Drawn by FAMOUS ARTISTS

    We know the likeness of beloved poet Emily Dickinson (1830-1886) from a single official mid-1840s photograph. Two other purported photos have not been authenticated. So the Denis Kitchen Publishing Co., located not far from the Belle of Amherst’s lifelong residence, assigned artist Peter Poplaski to create new images. 

    Poplaski, a renown mimic, has produced numerous remarkable covers and comics pages of Batman, Superman, Wonder Woman, Tom Strong, Li’l Abner, The Spirit, and other characters in the style of other cartoonists. So he not only drew Emily is his own inking and mezzotint style, he created images as-if-drawn-by caricaturists David Levine and Al Hirschfeld, painters Henri Matisse, Amedeo Modigliani, Pablo Picasso and Georges Braque, but even cartoonists as unlikely as Ernie Bushmiller and Basil Wolverton! 

    Each is exquisite. Hirschfeld, for example, famously hid the name of his daughter “Nina” in his caricatures; Pete did the same with his fiance Rika. The 12th card envisions Emily as if she were a modern woman, no longer a recluse, embracing social media and merchandise.

    Strange as the concept might be, even the Emily Dickinson Museum “loves” the postcards and promimentlty offers them in their gift shop. In all we have an even dozen postcards are heavy stock. Single postcards are $1.50, or a complete set is $14.95.
