Description

Danvers postcards capture the essence of this historic New England town. Produced in the 20th century, these practical mailers showcase local businesses and tourism, as well as celebrate the town's rich architectural heritage and institutions. From ancient saltbox houses associated with the witchcraft days to eighteenth-century gambrel-roofed dwellings that sheltered Revolutionary War patriots, Danvers postcards feature a range of subjects. The mansion occupied by poet John Greenleaf Whittier is also represented, alongside the majestic Danvers Insane Asylum, a state-operated facility. This book brings together some of the best examples of Danvers's twentieth-century postcard heritage, offering a unique glimpse into the town's history and culture.
