Naperville IL Vintage Postcard

Vintage Postcards of DuPage, Kane & Will County, Illinois
WHAT'S NEW:   I have collected Naperville, Chicago, and other northeast Illinois vintage postcards for a good many years, mostly to enhance my history and genealogy sites. My New England families migrated to northeast Illinois in 1833 and 1850.  I just launched an online store to offer high resolution digital images of my best postcards, so I hope you'll visit VINTAGE IMAGES and check back regularly. I am scanning at 600 dpi, digitally restoring and color correcting, and adding new  images almost every day!
 I just added several nice Aurora cards and have many more to scan and restore!  As time permits, I'll also add high resolution images for Elgin and St. Charles.   Last updated 1-23-10.

Many of the Aurora cards are shared through the generosity of my friend, June, who also hosts an independent history site for Kane County, Illinois.  They are all  circa 1907-1910.  Some are undivided backs, published by A. A. Lindstrom, Aurora, Illinois, and printed in Germany.
