From 1907 to 1912 Charles R. Childs produced over 5,400 individual views of Chicago for use as picture postcards.
This volume of Charles R. Childs' Chicago features the Garfield Park and Lawndale communities. A prolific photographer during the postal craze of the early 20th Century, Childs captured Chicago's rich architectural heritage in rare neighborhood views from a bygone era of Chicago's history.
