Retired historian and Louisville postcard dealer John E. Findling draws on his own 1,200-piece collection for this Arcadia Publishing volume, reproducing more than 200 vintage postcards of the city from roughly 1905 to 1940.
Organized by neighborhood from downtown and Old Louisville out to the riverfront, each card comes with a short caption noting its history and, where applicable, whether the building still stands — a window into the city when penny postcards served the role of a text message.
