Description

From early hand-colored cards printed in Germany to photographic views in both color and black and white, Mary Boyer’s extensive choice of postcards yields a unique glimpse of Charlotte, North Carolina, all over the time of ordinary growth that underpins today’s dynamic city.

The postcards–many of them rare and valuable–portray people, hotels, parks, city and street views, residences, schools, sports venues, government buildings, churches, theaters, and more. Among the buildings portrayed in the cards were due to this fact demolished to make way for larger, more brand new structures. The extensive captions go well beyond simply describing the scene on each and every postcard, offering little-known details of Charlotte’s diverse social history and lore.

The resulting pictorial history forms a charming visual record of a Charlotte that has in large part vanished, one if you want to be treasured by long-term and new residents of the city and welcomed by the legions of postcard collectors far and wide the world.
