Antique Postcards - Hand Colored Tinted American Hotels - 1930s 40s 50s / Book

Description: "WISH YOU WERE HERE" - A Tour of America's Great Hotels During the Golden Age of the Picture Post Card by Barry Zaid, Crown Publishers, NY, 1990. This book "is an album of the exquisite linen-finish hotel picture post cards that flourished during the thirties, forties and fifties. They capture a country peppered with quaint roadside inns like the Tallahassee Auto Court, grand urban palaces like the Sherry Netherlands in New York City, luxury resorts like California's Del Coronado Beach Hotel, and those peculiarly American establishments gracing our national parks like the Ahwahnee in Yosemite that blended luxury with a taste of the frontier." "Hand-tinting is currently enjoying a vogue, but before the advent of modern color photography, the only way to create a full-color image was to hand color it." There's a wealth of information in this comprehensive guide to hotel postcard collecting. 10.3" x 9.2" hardback with dust cover in very good condition. 96 pages. FREE media mail shipping and handling for deliveries within the 50 United States. Rates vary for international mailings.
