That is less than 6 cents for each. What a way to complement your Walpole, NH, postcard collection and see cards you may never see elsewhere. Or a gift for a former Walpolean, or gift for yourself to remember your home.
Ray Boas’ new 128 page book, AS IT WAS…AND STILL IS – WALPOLE, NEW HAMPSHIRE, tours the reader through more than 125 years of history shown through 350 rarely seen images creatively displayed, all in full-color. Based on Boas’ collection of postcards and stereoviews started over a decade ago, the book has been completed for publication in conjunction with Walpole’s 2014 Old Home Days celebration. The main section of the book divides the town into five sections each beginning with a map. The postcards and stereoviews, with historical captions, are keyed to the maps. Also included is a collection of historical articles written by Boas for THE WALPOLE CLARION, and a brief history of postcards further illustrated by Walpole postals.
