About This Vintage Postcard
The sweeping curve of the shoreline at Hampton Beach is captured here, leading the eye toward the steady silhouette of Great Boars Head. There is a simple, refreshing energy in the scene, where the Atlantic's rhythmic foam meets the sun drenched road of the New Boulevard. It calls to mind the lighthearted spirit of a mid century coastal getaway, windows rolled down, the salt air filling the car, and the promise of fried clams waiting at the end of the drive. It is a nostalgic view of a landmark that has anchored the summer memories of travelers for generations.
