Chester County Post Card Album, 1900-1930: A Collection Of Nostalgic Post Cards Recalling Chester County In The Early Twentieth Century

This 192-page book is volume I in the Chester County Pennsylvania publications. From the Foreword written by Paul Rodebaugh: "Of all my collections of Chester County material, my collection of Chester County post cards has given me the most pleasure. Here on one card I have captured forever a view of the past, a past that in many cases has long since disappeared. The cards in this book show scenes which have faded and changed as the years have passed. Many of the buildings have been altered or removed leaving nothing but a fragile picture post card to record their existence. We hope that our album will serve a dual purpose: to help refresh the memories of our older citizens, and to introduce to our younger citizens the timeless beauty and heritage of our County. All areas of the County are represented." Dozens of post cards along with descriptive text are included in this fascinating look-back at Chester County.
