- Summary:
- This unique book presents a vast selection of postcards dating from 1900 to 1940. These postcards are not only noteworthy because they provide a pictorial history of the architecture of the New World, but also because of the specific nature of the images. The illustrations represent a range of techniques from hand-drawn pictures to photographs taken with gigantic plates and copies of original engravings. Great attention has been paid to the captions including, whenever possible, details of the current state of the building.
