Description
Soaring Newark, NJ skyscrapers, including the New Bamberger Building and Prudential Insurance Company, are vividly captured in this early 20th-century postcard. Muted browns and grays paint a detailed bird’s-eye view of the city skyline, showcasing the Essex and Kinney buildings amongst others. This delightful postcard, postmarked August 31, 1913, offers a glimpse into Newark’s architectural grandeur of the early 1910s.
