West Fourth Street, looking west from Washington Street
(Writing on the card reads: "We live where I have
made the X ... Helen F. Smith" The mark is atop
the first tree on the left side of the street.  No date
on the card; it is believed to have been the early 1900s.)

This is the first in a planned series of 'then and now' views of Wilmington. It draws on the extensive collection of local picture post cards accumulated by Terry Craig, owner and president of Print Marketing Solutions Inc., on West Eighth Street. Current views of the same scenes are Delaforum digital photos.
