Boston, Massachusetts (Postcard History Series)

From 1901 to 1960, the picture postcard recorded almost every aspect of life in the city of Boston. Through the vintage postcards in Boston, readers will tour the city's Emerald Necklace and green spaces, visit Boston's old waterfront, understand Boston's part in America's Revolutionary War, and see the diversity of the city's many museums, churches, libraries, colleges, and internationally famous hospitals. Postcard images depict the many events that have shaped the historic city of Boston.

William J. and Elaine A. Pepe have collected postcards for more than 40 years, and the majority of the images in Boston have come from their personal collection. They are currently active as officers of the South Shore Historical Society. Together they have authored two other postcard history volumes: Weymouth and Quincy.
