LWB: Wheeling in Real Photo Postcards with Presenter Tony Paree
In 1907 Kodak introduced an inexpensive process enabling people to make a postcard from any photograph. This allowed amateurs photographers to capture a disaster, fire, flood, or other event while it was happening. In his book, Tony Paree presents an array of amazing early views of Wheeling that might never have existed but for this revolutionary process. In addition to real photo postcards from Tony's own collection, his book features RPPCs from the Museums of Oglebay Institute and our very own Ohio County Public Library Archives. PRESENTER BIO: Tony Paree spent 45 years working at Crone’s men’s store in Wheeling and became a passionate collector of Wheeling memorabilia. He is the author of "Victorian Trade Cards of Wheeling, West Virginia" and "Real Photo Postcards of Wheeling, WV."
