This exquisite post card view of the original Mercer Hospital came to me via my Hamilton High Class of 1951 classmate, Alice Schmidt Mullen. Alice's great grandfather kept a scrapbook of these old postcard in a scrapbook. They are all un-used and in pristine condition. This, and other views sent to me by Alice will be included in an upcoming on screen presentation of local photos and views of the Trenton area from the distant past. -

- Hi Bob....nice to hear from you again. I am aware of the usgwarchives.org site and have downloaded a number of their post cards. An excellent site. A number of visitors and attendees at my local presentations have suggested them as a wonderful source for Trenton area graphics which they are. I just posted an explanation of how the process works a few minutes ago. I need at least 300 dots per inch in order to enlarge many of the graphics you see on my website. Unfortunately, 72 DPI doesn't cut it. Thanks for the comment, and please return often to my blogs.
