Spring Lake, Revisited
– A Portrait of the Victorian Era at the Jersey Shore –
by Patrick Smith
This limited-edition, oversized volume features more than 200
color photographs of Spring Lake's Victorian era, a time of decorum
and manners, grand hotels and magnificent mansions, and parasol
strolls along the boardwalk.
Over three years in the making, each of Spring Lake, Revisited's
images have been carefully preserved and digitally enhanced to reveal
the ultimate view into Spring Lake's glorious past. Author Patrick
Smith (grandson of William Schreck, the one-time owner of The
Sandpiper Hotel) presents his grandfather's collection of postcards
and photographs with informative descriptions of each image that
bring Spring Lake's past to life while pointing out the many details
and real life happenings of 100 years ago that reveal the humanity of
the time.
Most of the scenes you'll view in this beautiful, haunting folio are
now gone forever. Its eight chapters include: Panoramic Views of the
Town, On the Beach and Boardwalk, A Visual Walking Tour Around
the Lake, The Grand Hotels, Churches and Houses of Worship, Public
Buildings and Private Clubs, Mansions and Other Private Homes, and
Street Scenes Around Town.
