Contributor Bio(s): Zimmerman, Elena Irish: - Postcard photographers traveled the length and breadth of the nation snapping photographs of busy street scenes, documenting local landmarks, and picturing local citizens only too happy to pose. 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. |
