A visual look at Brooklyn's history, from its rural beginnings to the present, through over 300 historic postcards and contemporary photos.

Relive the early days of Brooklyn through 329 postcard and contemporary images. See where popular seashore recreation began at Coney Island, stroll through Prospect Park, cross the Brooklyn Bridge, and tour the smaller residential neighborhoods like Flatbush.
With an informative and engaging text to accompany the images, trace the major demographic shifts and commercial change of Brooklyn.
