In 1636, theologian Roger Williams landed in Rhode Island and
"having a sense of God's merciful providence unto me in my
distress, called the place Providence." This city grew to become a
leader in textile, tool, and jewelry manufacturing and gained the
nickname "Beehive of Industry." In the nineteenth century,
Providence was known for its busy factories, fascinating history,
and beautiful location on scenic Narragansett Bay. Over 300
vintage, hand-tinted postcards transport readers to the early
1900s, when tourism boomed. See the marble dome of the Rhode Island
State Capitol, look into the shops at the Mall on Weybosset and
Westminster Streets, Roger Williams Park, a lecture at Brown
University, and a clambake on the shores of Narragansett Bay.
Approximate dating and price guides will be useful to seasoned
collectors and beginners looking to start their own collections.
