Mid-century picture postcards transport the reader back to a Golden Era of bikini-clad tourists, cabana nightclubs, and the area's tropical delights. Architecture fans, preservationists, and historians will delight in an opportunity to view the fabulous hotel resorts developed in the 1920s and '30s that embodied the aesthetics of Miami's rich concentration of Tropical Deco architecture. Many of these architectural treasures have since been lost to further development. These images also illustrate the re-birth of streamlining in the 1950s, and the creation of the city's treasured MiMo or Miami Modern style.
