Old Ridgefield: New Postcards
Using postcards first published a century
ago, we have created a
series of historical cards that are both affordable and fun to send
to friends and relatives, especially those who have lived in or visited
Ridgefield. They are printed on glossy postcard stock, and retain the
colors that were either hand-painted onto the original cards or
were produced by sophisticated German lithographic presses before World
War I. A
historical description of each scene appears on the message side of the
card.
