Jersey City in Vintage Postcards

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.
