- Experience turn-of-the-century country life in northern Chester County through the work of amateur postcard photographer Octavius Bull. Postcards were as popular at the beginning of the 20th century as they are today. Back then, though, people particularly loved to send personalized postcards of their own family and home to friends. Octavius Bull rambled through the villages of Glen Moore, Marsh, Loag’s Corner, Bulltown, Barneston, Warwick, and Elverson with his camera recording the local families and landscape.
