Old Postcards and Photos of Westport, Mass. and surroundings

I'm posting scans of most of the old postcards and photos of Westport that I've collected, for their scholarly and historical interest. Scans were processed with an eye to maximizing display of details - not necessarily vibrancy or fidelity to the originals, which are sometimes quite dark or faded.

Best viewed in large size normally unless you have a huge monitor. Zoom in to original size to see details. Old real-photo postcards can hold tremendous amounts of detail, while newer ones printed in dots aren't usually worth blowing up.

The backs of the cards are provided, in order, at the end of each gallery.
