Cooper Street

Aerial postcard of Camden, NJ — Probably my all-time favorite postcard. The optimism in Camden’s future jumps right out of the card!

I’ve always been interested in postcards. Here are some Camden postcards, some dating back to the 19th Century. If you have any images to share, please contact me.
