Kilmeny of the Orchard promotional postcard
917 SI PC KO 1910
Promotional postcard from the publisher L.C. Page & Company of Boston, Massachusetts, for Montgomery's third novel, 'Kilmeny of the Orchard'. The front of the card includes the George Gibbs colour illustration of Kilmeny that appeared on the first edition's cover, showing a young woman in a blue-white blouse, wearing her black hair in two braids. The card text identifies L.M. Montgomery as the author of 'Anne of Green Gables (20th Printing) and Anne of Avonlea (9th Printing)' showing the publisher's eagerness to promote the popular success of Montgomery's two earlier books. No date is printed on the card, and the spaces on the back of the card for message and address are blank; the promotional text announces "Now Ready", suggesting that the card was printed to coincide with the first printing of 'Kilmeny of the Orchard' in April, 1910.
