Waco, Texas - A Postcard Journey

The postcard was an extraordinarily popular means of communication near the turn of the century (1890s-1920s), and many of the postcards produced during this time can today be considered works of art. Postcard photographers traveled the length and breadth of the nation snapping pictures of busy street scenes, documenting local landmarks, and assembling crowds of local townspeople only too happy to pose for a picture. These images, printed and postcards and sold in general stores across the country, survive as telling reminders of an important era in America's history. This fascinating collection of Waco postcards showcases more than two hundred of the best vintage postcards available. Size: 6 1/2" X 9 1/4", 128 pages, soft cover.
