ISBN: 0738550310 ISBN-13: 9780738550312 Publisher: Arcadia Publishing (SC) OUR PRICE: $22.49 Product Type: Paperback Published: August 2007 Annotation: Broadway, arguably the most famous street in the world, is the only one that runs the full length of Manhattan, which was not always the case. Founded at New Yorks earliest settlement, Broadway was extended in length and evolved in character over the centuries. The postcard era, roughly 1905 to 1915, was an exciting time in the history of Broadway as a period that saw the construction of some of New Yorks most historically significant buildings. Along Broadway chronicles the growth of this icon through the postcard medium but with selective imagery before and after that golden age of the postcard. |
