EDITORS COMMENTS
This vintage print captures the essence of Atlantic City, N. J. , during the 1930s - a time when it was hailed as America's foremost seaside resort. From the vantage point of the Breakers Hotel, one can admire the iconic Boardwalk and Steel Pier stretching out into the vastness of the Atlantic Ocean. The aerial view showcases a bustling scene with people strolling along the boardwalk, enjoying all that this vibrant city had to offer. However, behind this glamorous facade lay an intriguing secret. During Prohibition (1919-1933), while alcohol was banned across America, Atlantic City became a hotbed for illicit activities. In dimly lit back rooms of nightclubs and restaurants, liquor flowed freely and gambling thrived clandestinely. The image is part of "Tour of the World" a collection by Keystone View Company that aimed to transport viewers to different locations around the globe through stereoscope images. This particular photograph provides us with a fascinating glimpse into American history and culture during this era. Today, Atlantic City remains a popular tourist destination but has evolved significantly since its heyday in the 1930s. Nevertheless, this black-and-white panorama serves as a reminder of its rich past and enduring allure as an oceanfront resort town in New Jersey.
