Nantucket, that beautiful island thirty miles south of Cape Cod,
Massachusetts, has been nicknamed "The Gray Lady." This 48 square
miles of real estate has long been, and remains, one of the premier
tourist destinations in New England. Reflecting that popularity
among tourists are the many vintage postcards produced of this
scenic island. Exciting and beautiful examples of these postcards
are captured here in 270 brilliant color photos. Nantucket is known
to have the highest concentration of pre-Civil War era structures
in the United States, many of which were captured in these
postcards. The engaging text accompanying the photos recounts the
history of Nantucket, from its early days when the island was
considered the "Whaling Capital of the World," through today. Also
discussed are the Nantucket lighthouses and the pastimes that made
a vacation trip to the island worthwhile. Values for the postcards
displayed are provided in the captions as well.
