Description

The early twentieth century was a vibrant era for the world of postcards. Here, in this stunning collection from the Westfield Athenaeum, the history of the town is told, using rare and antique postcards. The old trolleys and street scenes come to life in this volume, along with the parades and celebrations of early Westfield. Hampton Ponds and Stanley Park, two popular recreation spots in town, can be seen in days gone by. Postcards were also used for local advertising to sell everything from men's clothing to hotels. Westfield is sure to entertain and enlighten readers with its diverse images.
