Curator William Bird has a great eye for a postcard. In ‘The Foods of Provincial New Jersey’, William has produced an album of fantastic eats to be enjoyed in the Garden’s State’s accessible eateries. These vintage postcards from the 1950s and 1960s picture the foods of provincial New Jersey restaurants, hotels, and diners.
