Shakespeare Postcards in a Digital Age

"...theatrical postcards of legendary actors in some of Shakespeare's most famous plays..."

This exhibit showcases the newly re-designed website, Shakespeare & the Players, and features nearly 1,000 images of late 19th to early 20th century theatrical postcards of legendary actors in some of Shakespeare's most famous plays. The original website, begun in the 1990s by Emory English Professor Harry Rusche, went on to become an outstanding example of early digital scholarship. Justin Shaw, an English doctoral student and the website redesign project lead, curated the exhibit.
