Item description from seller

9 postcards, each featuring an image of a Roycroft building or Elbert Hubbard. Buildings include: The Phalanstery, Library, Shop, Roycroft Inn, Dining Room, Chapel plus two images of Hubbard, (one on horseback), and another of 'Old Uncle John'. Hubbard (1856-1915), an American artist, writer and philosopher, was raised in Hudson, Illinois. He is best known as founder of the Roycroft artisan community in East Aurora, New York, which was influential in the Arts and Crafts Movement. A self-described anarchist and socialist, he explains his Credo in this title, writing "I believe John Ruskin, William Morris, Henry Thoreau, Walt Whitman and Leo Tolstoy to be Prophets of God, and they should rank in mental reach and spiritual insight with Elijah, Hosea, Ezekiel and Isaiah." 9 post cards, 6 full back, 3 split back, 3 1/2 x 5 1/2", b&w. Overall very bright and clean.
