Jersey City in Vintage Postcards features selected postcard images, some actual photographs, that depict Jersey City's early-twentieth-century rise as one of the Northeast's great urban areas. Many of the views seen here remained intact into the 1940s and 1950s. More than two hundred thirty postcards and photographs, organized geographically, also suggest an evolving Jersey City, while well researched captions describe the changing cityscape.

This review is from: Jersey City in Vintage Postcards (NJ) (Postcard History Series) (Paperback)
This publication was neatly put together and very informative. I enjoyed seeing the beloved city of my youth. And to revisit some of the sights even my parents and grandparents told me about.

This review is from: Jersey City: In Vintage Postcards (Postcard History) (Paperback)
Excellent vintage photos. See how nice Jersey City used to be before all of the buildings with historical value were torn down and replaced with cheaply made houses and apartment buildings.
