by Cindy McIntyre (Author)

Editorial Reviews

Product Description
Photographer Cindy McIntyre has collected 61 particularly interesting antique postcards from around Maine and paired them with her own photographs, taken at exactly the same spot. The result is a fascinating glimpse at how much has remained the same -- and in some cases, how much has changed -- in Maine's cities, small towns, and countryside.

About the Author
Waldoboro, Maine, photographer Cindy McIntyre has published two other photography books, and her photos have appeared in hundreds of places through stock photography agencies. She has also built a business selling her hand-colored photo prints at crafts shows.

5.0 out of 5 stars A superb souvenir book for Maine vacationers, March 14, 2005

By	Midwest Book Review (Oregon, WI USA) - See all my reviews

A Century Apart: Maine Then & Now is a gorgeous visual and historic tour of Maine's landscapes and cities. Author Cindy McIntyre was an avid collector of Maine postcards; inspired by the vintage photographs, she sought to compare snapshots of present-day Maine with images past, revealing striking differences and similarities. The text recounts changes in the last hundred years in various Maine towns, while the full-color paintings and photographs often display striking contrasts when placed side by side. A superb souvenir book for Maine vacationers, and a trip down memory lane for longtime Maine residents.
