Greetings from Chicago is a richly curated postcard collection that offers a window into everyday life in Chicago during the late 19th and early 20th centuries. Through real postcards—complete with handwritten messages, postmarks, and evocative imagery—the book captures how people lived, traveled, worked, loved, and communicated before the digital age. More than images, these postcards act as time capsules, blending personal voices with historical context to tell the story of a city and its people 100 years ago.
