Sunday Stamp: Nella Larsen

It has been a long time since I posted for Sunday Stamps, and I am happy to add a stamp for today's theme: 'N'.

My late mom was named Nelly, and the woman on this stamp is named Nella, so her name is dear :-)
I found some more information about Nella Larsen on the internet, and her career is matching to this Sunday Stamps' theme also: she was both a nurse and a novellist.
I didn't know her books so far. But now that I was searching for more information, I found out that her novel 'Passing', first published in 1929, still is available (and even has been translated into my language, Nederlands / Dutch). As it is about two women from mixed families (which is a dear theme to me) I just ordered it, to read it more than ninety years after Nella has written the book.

Nella's stamp was accompanied by a stamp of an other writer, plus a matching postmark of the Harlem Renaissance movement (many thanks to FinnBadger for these stamps and postmark):

In: from Spain

Eva maakte me blij met deze twee aquarelverf-kaarten!
Met de ware woorden van Pablo Picasso: 'Ieder kind is een kunstenaar. Het punt is om kunstenaar te blijven als je groot wordt.'
(Meer citaten over kunst vind je trouwens hier.)
Op de achterzijde bij beide kaarten een postzegel met een vuurtoren, geplakt op dezelfde plaats. En toch weet de Correos (Spaanse post) ze op een verschillende manier af te stempelen.

Eva enchanted me with these two 'watercolour' picture postcards! With true words by Pablo Picasso.
On exactly the same place on the backside Eva added two lighthouse stamps.
However, the Correos (Spanish post) manages to cancel them in a different way!



Thank you very much, Eva!
