Arnold Bros Postcards
The Arnold Brothers (Charles and Newton Arnold of Rushland) published a series of postcards depicting scenes across Bucks County, Pennsylvania in the early 1900s. The series includes 249 numbered cards showing churches, hotels, stores, post offices, bridges, mills, and scenic views from dozens of towns and townships.
This collection includes 243 cards with modern comparison photographs from Robert Chase Palmer’s Google My Maps project, plus original postcard scans from eBay listings. Palmer published a book, Postcards of Bucks County, 2020, featuring all 249 cards — available on Blurb. Cards #6, #24, #27, #45, #51, and #133 are documented here from marketplace scans. The remaining numbers in the main run — #52, #58, #73, #151, and #208–249 — have not yet been sighted in any catalog or marketplace listing; Palmer notes the numbering “goes as high as 249” but that the series may be incomplete.
