See all formats and editions

Take a nostalgic, scenic journey through the San Diego of days gone by. 226 vintage postcards show the city as it appeared decades, and even a century, ago.

From crisp Marine formations at Fort Rosecrans to casual strolls through Balboa Park, you'll see San Diego's history unfold.

Dozens of images celebrate San Diego's red-carpet welcome for the 1915 Panama-California International Exposition.

Romantic views portray Casa de Estudillo, where novelist Helen Hunt Jackson's heroine Ramona captured the nation's heart.

Dodge trolleys and horses on D Street, ogle the glorious U.S.

Grant Hotel, explore famous beaches and resort areas, and take in the panorama from Mission Cliff when it was an idyllic garden.

These wonderful images illustrate sites that lured so many people to San Diego in the early to mid twentieth century.
