Historic Photos of the Main Line by Laura E. Beardsley
Turner Publishing announces the new release of the Historic Photos of the Main Line by Laura E. Beardsley. This 10x10 volume tells the pictorial narrative of the Main Line through stunning, culled-from-the-archives photos.
Nashville, TN, April 09, 2008 --(PR.com)-- The History of the Main Line Told Through Historic Photographs.
The Main Line has been an integral part of the fabric of United States history. The story of the Main Line reflects both a united and progressive spirit and a unique culture that are the foundation of the city’s present-day prosperity and overwhelming popularity.
With fact-filled photo captions and chapter introductions by Laura Beardsley, Historic Photos of the Main Line rediscovers The Main Line’s fascinating past through nearly 200 rare photographs selected from Chester County Historical Society; the Historical Society of Montgomery County; the Historical Society of Pennsylvania; The Library Company of Philadelphia; the Library of Congress; the Lower Merion Historical Society; the Radnor Historical Society; and Temple University-Urban Archives-all images showcased with exceptional clarity and beauty.
From the Philadelphia and Columbia railway and the Devon train station to the Villanova University, Wynnewood School’s Class of 1900, and the Devon Horse show, the Main Line shines through the decades in glorious black-and-white photography, displayed in a large format. It’s a fantastic book for any travel, photography, or history fan.
“I believe there is a special place in community memory for the photographic record of the past. I believe my book will offer members of the Main Line community a rare opportunity to share in the richness of the area’s past and to gain a deeper understanding of the historical value of where they live. For those unfamiliar with the Main Line, I hope the book will spark interest in a truly special part of Pennsylvania and American history,” says author Beardsley.
Historic Photos of the Main Line is part of Turner Publishing’s Historic Photos series. These books, highlighting the history of the great cities, pivotal events, and legendary figures across America, have been acclaimed as a staple in the collection of anyone who loves history.
