Description: This antique sepia-tone postcard captures a fascinating glimpse into early 20th-century Atlantic City, New Jersey, featuring a group of men and boys with ponies on the beach. This rare image showcases a popular seaside activity of the era, where visitors could ride ponies along the shore. The architectural style of the buildings in the background and the attire of the people strongly suggest an early 1900s timeframe.
