EXHIBITION
Views Along Broadway
Friday, December 4 through Sunday, January 10
Online
This online exhibition features postcards from the Architecture Archive’s Joseph Covino New York City Postcard Collection. Dating from the late 19th to mid-20th century, the collection is among the largest of its kind. Its nearly 3,800 postcards were donated to the Archive between 1999 and 2003 by Joseph Covino, an avid postcard collector.
Most of the postcards document New York City’s built environment and infrastructure, including many no-longer-extant buildings, interiors, businesses, and public spaces. They record a city in constant flux, capturing several decades of urban development across all five boroughs, from the city’s piers, airports, subways, and armories to its public parks, aquariums, monuments, and libraries. These postcards also attest to the diverse commercial and public interests that shaped both the subjects they depict and their own role as mass communication media. In addition to recording the city’s evolving physical form, the postcards are commercial artifacts marking the rise of consumer culture, the growth of middle-class tourism, and the development of publishing technologies that fostered their widespread distribution and explosion in popularity during the first decades of the 20th century.
