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; and assembling 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 America�s history. This fascinating new history of Orange; New Jersey; showcases more than two hundred of the best vintage postcards available.
