Synopsis
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.
Westport, Connecticut, a tourist mecca with an artistic reputation, has
been captured on numerous postcards featuring scenes of the New England
town's shore, its restaurants and inns, and its stately homes and gardens.
The neighboring town of Weston, where the beauty of the surroundings is
paramount, featured captivating nature scenes. 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 Westport and Weston, Connecticut,
showcases more than two hundred of the bestvintage postcards dating from
the late 1800s to the 1950s.
