SUMMARY:2/28 LUNCH & LEARN | The Invention of the Postcard: The Circulation of Jewish Visual Culture in Ottoman and Greek Salonica with Shalom Sabar
DESCRIPTION:The invention of the postcard in the late nineteenth century revolutionized how people exchanged information and images. While first introduced in the United States\, the postcard quickly spread across the world. In the realm of the Ottoman Empire\, where post offices had operated since the middle of the nineteenth century\, the postcard added a new dimension to the emerging technologies of communication. \nJoin us to hear Professor Shalom Sabar discuss how his review of extensive collections of Jewish postcards from Salonica (1897-1917) helps us to understand the self-perception and the experience of the Jews living in the city. \nLunch will be provided. This event is free and open to the public\, but RSVP is required.
