A stunning collection of 174 vintage postcards illustrating 14 poems of Henry Livingston, Jr. (1748-1828), the author of "The Night Before Christmas." A graphic novel in verse praising the beautiful women of post Revolutionary War America. Includes postcards by well known artists Tito Corbella, Philip Boileau, F. Earl Christy, C.W. Barber, Harrison Fisher, W. Haskell Coffin, Anna Mailick, Emile Bottaro, Clare Victor Dwiggins, among others. Henry Livingston, Jr. was proven to be the poem's true author by Auckland University Professor Emeritus MacDonald Jackson in his book, "Who Wrote 'The Night Before Christmas.' " Over a period of several years, Jackson created statistical tests which were able to distinguish the poetry of Henry Livingston from that of Clement Moore using characteristics of their styles such as word frequency and, in a breakthrough technique, phonemes, which follow the movement of the tongue in the mouth as the words are read aloud. When these tests were applied to "The Night Before Christmas," they showed that the poem shared the stylistic characteristics of Livingston, and not of Moore.
