American Literary Timeline 1750-1849 Poster

The first in a series of three Literary Timeline posters that colorfully depict the progression of American literary works in three ways. The poster's top portion is a grouping of portraits of some of the top authors of the era including: Ben Franklin, William Cullen Bryant, Edgar Allan Poe and Herman Melville. The midsection of the poster is a book shelf holding some of the era's top titles and their publication dates including: "Common Sense," "The Sketch Book," "Thanatopsis," and "The Raven." The shelf provides a graphic approximation of the prevailing literary trend. Also included at the foot of the poster is a brief history timeline that hits the highlights and provides context. These posters are huge, so make room on your walls or buy all three and hang them over your blackboard. For a closer look click the thumbs below the main image. 18" x 48"
