| Publisher Description: Though little more than an afterthought these days, from the 1890s through the 1920s, postcards were by far the most popular means of communication. Many of the postcards produced during this "golden age" can be considered works of art, when postcard photographers traveled the nation coast to coast snapping photographs of busy street scenes, documenting local landmarks, and taking photographic portraits of locals only too happy to pose for the camera. This fascinating history of Northeast Georgia showcases more than 200 of the best vintage postcards available; these images, printed as postcards and sold in general stores across the country, can teach us important aspects of yesteryear that we may not find in history books. |
