Description
An account of the resource
For decades postcards have been unique transporters of messages and information to and from loved ones. Although postcards now serve as novelties, traditionally they were a much cheaper alternative to communicate with loved ones while away on business or vacation.
This collection of postcards features both the Old and New Waldorf Astoria Hotels. They display lithographic, photographic, and other artistic depictions of the interior and exterior of the buildings. Many retain their dated postage and messages written by hotel guests while others offer commercial synopses of the spaces they feature. Collectively, they highlight the celebrated reputation the Waldorf Astoria hotel has maintained throughout its history.
