Here in North America, we are getting almost giddy about the upcoming solar eclipse which will occur on Monday, August 21, 2017. Unfortunately for me, my region of the U.S. will only be in a partial eclipse zone. Way back on August 31, 1932 there was also a total eclipse event in North America. These images from a contemporary travel brochure produced by the New Haven Rail Road encouraged folks to visit the “Vacation Land of New England” to experience the eclipse.
