Greetings From The Gowanus Canal

Take a look at this wonderful old postcard. It's from a series of black and white views of Brooklyn area businesses, ships, schools and public buildings published between 1905 and 1907 by Brooklyn’s leading newspaper, the Daily Eagle. This one is a view of the Gowanus Canal below Fifteenth Street. Cool, no?

Great image. Almost looks Dickensian, no?
