Main Street, Pawtucket, R.I.

Notes: Street car routes in Pawtucket were plentiful (as evidenced by how frequently the cars or the tracks appear in these postcards). See this 1895 map (with controls at left to zoom in) for the layout and extent of the downtown trolley network: http://www.wardmaps.com/viewasset.php?aid=2142 Emma’s abbreviations, missing punctuation and airy, blithe, style is the precursor to contemporary texting; the postcards a popular medium for the non professional telegraph operator.
