Central American Postcard Collection

Central American Postcard Collection

The postcards of three countries—Guatemala, Nicaragua, and Panama published between 1900 and the 1950s--are represented in this collection. Churches, cities, parks, and other scenic views showcase the beauty and historic importance of Central America. The Panama Canal is prominently featured with postcards that document both the building of the canal and its subsequent use.
