If a picture is worth a thousand words, then the 200 historic views in Delaware in Vintage Postcards provide eloquent commentary on the First State in the early part of the twentieth century. Capturing the era between 1905 and 1925, this charming retrospective takes readers on a journey from Selbyville and Fenwick Island to Claymont, Arden, and Hockessin, and down the picturesque Main Streets of more than fifty Delaware towns. Illustrated postcards, which became popular at the turn of the last century, highlight the economic importance of land and sea, the state's varied architectural beauty, and the everyday lives of Delaware citizens.

Officially chartered in 1832, this determined community has steadily developed a prosperous business economy--fueled in earlier times by the demands of war and more recently by a liberal tax structure--as well as a dynamic residential life for the thousands who make Wilmington home.

Extending in a southwesterly direction, Route 9 ambles from the Delaware Bay at Lewes through Georgetown, and finally to Laurel. Though connected by the same road, these three communities each possess their own distinctive histories and unique characteristics. Dating back to the 1600s, the future site of Lewes was visited by Henry Hudson on his quest for a Northwest passage to Asia, and was bombarded by the British in the War of 1812. Georgetown was founded in 1791, and serves as the county seat and center of government for Sussex County. Laurel was incorporated in 1883. In addition to lumber and poultry industries, the navigable water on Broad Creek allowed a canning industry to flourish, and at one time Laurel became one of the wealthiest towns in the state.

From the 1890s through the 1920s, the postcard was an extraordinarily popular means of communication, and many of the postcards produced during this "golden age" can today be considered works of art. Postcard photographers traveled the length and breadth of the nation snapping photographs of busy street scenes, documenting local landmarks, and assembling crowds of local children only too happy to pose for a picture. These images, printed as postcards and sold in general stores across the country, survive as telling reminders of an important era in America's history. This fascinating new history of Wicomico County and Delmar showcases more than two hundred of the best vintage postcards available.

When the twentieth century was young, visitors to Cape May knew exactly how to show the folks back home the attractions, accommodations, and ambiance of "the Nation's Oldest Seaside Resort": they sent a penny postcard. Publishers such as local entrepreneur Joseph K. Hand provided a vast choice of views, capturing white sands crowded with colorful tents and wool-suited bathers or beachfront hotels such as the Stockton, Lafayette, and Congress Hall. Popular postcards depicted amusement centers and nearby diversions: the Casino, Red Mill, Corinthian Yacht Club, Fun Factory, Convention Hall, and Cape May Point Lighthouse. Reprinted Victorian views of hotels destroyed by fire served as reminders of the resort's glory days. Real-photo cards chronicled newsworthy events including the creation of the harbor, construction of the huge Hotel Cape May, and the 1907 fire at the Iron Pier.
