Postcard, the front of which shows a now famous photograph of 20th century poets, who had been gathered for a party at the Gotham Book Mart in honor of Dame Edith Sitwell. Sitwell is enthroned at the center of the picture; next to her is her brother, Osbert, and in the surrounding milieu can be seen Marianne Moore, Elizabeth Bishop, Tennessee Williams, Gore Vidal, Jose Garcia Villa, Delmore Schwartz, Randall Jarrell, Chalres Henri Ford, William Rose Benet, Stephen Spender, Marya Zaturenska, Horace Gregory, and Richard Eberhart, with W. H. Auden propped on a ladder. Larsen's image was first published in Life magazine, and was notable as much for who was in it as who wasn't. At the party, but ushered out of frame, were William Saroyan, William Carlos Williams, and Alfred Kreymborg, and Osbert Sitwell himself was nearly a casualty, only to be saved at the last minute by a publisher in attendance. At the reverse is a typed note from Andreas Brown, eventual owner of the shop, to Rick Jones. An illustration of by Edward Gorey serves as indicator for a postage stamp. Minimal rubs to corners, else crisp and fine. (6 by 4 in.)
