Produktbeschreibung

At the start of the 20th century, Birmingham was one of the fastest growing cities in the South, sometimes referred to as the "e;Magic City."e; It began as a town located at the intersection of two railroads and then quickly expanded and took in neighboring communities. Around this time, photographers traveled around the United States taking photographs of towns and cities and turning the photographs into postcards. The postcards collected here show historic Birmingham's downtown, hospitals, parks, communities, schools, hotels, and industries. These images serve as a record of everyday life in this bustling Southern city.
