Dayton (OH) (Postcard History Series)

The rise and near destruction of Dayton in the early 20th century is chronicled in this visual postcard history. The postcards showcase some of the cityA‚A’s unique commercial buildings, hotels, churches, and residences, many now long gone due to urban renewal and highway construction in the 1960s and 1970s. Landmarks featured include the National SoldiersA‚A’ Home, built for veterans of the Civil War in 1868, and there is an entire chapter dedicated to the events of the 1913 flood that forever changed the face of the city. Over 200 postcard images were selected from the Dayton Metro Library and a number of privately held collections.

We all remember keepsake color postcards from generations ago. Some go back 100 years or more. Perhaps you sent many to loved ones and friends. The scenes of the Atlantic City and Coney Island boardwalks, scenic views of national parks, and images from large cities and small towns perhaps including yours! are treasures. Photographs America has enlarged hundreds of these classic postcards to a handsome 8"x10" size, perfect for framing. Each is a custom-printed Fine-Art Gicle print on the highest-quality, premium photo paper. Please understand that we are working from actual postcards, which were mass-produced onto inexpensive cardboard stock. So the enlargements have a vintage look of their own, full of character. While beautiful and nostalgic, they cannot carry the sharpness and fidelity of our other Photographs America products. We love them and highly recommend these beautiful prints as keepsakes and gifts, but we wanted to be sure that you understand that they are not original works by our photographers. You will love them, too.
