From the 1890s through the 1920s; the postcard was an extraordinarily popular means of communication; and many of the postcards produced during this "golden age" can today be considered works of art. Postcard photographers traveled the length and breadth of the nation snapping photographs of busy street scenes; documenting local landmarks; andassembling crowds of local children only too happy to pose for a picture. These images; printed as postcards and sold in general stores across the country; survive as telling reminders of an important era in Americas history. This fascinating new history of New Jerseys Somerset County showcases more than two hundred of the best vintage postcards available.

I would have expected more historical details.By John GayoNot much depth to the book. More of a braod brush approach to the citys history. I expected more depth.0 of 0 people found the following review helpful. Rare PicturesBy Margaret S. VerbleIve bought several of these small history books published by Aracdia. They preserve photographs that otherwise would be hidden away in files in reference rooms in libraries. This is one of the best of the series. It contains many pictures of historic Tulsa I havent seen elsewhere. even at the Tulsa Historical Society.
