Item Description from Seller

This vintage postcard features a colorized image of a traditional Mexican adobe dwelling, showcasing a rustic, earthen structure typical of early 20th-century Southwestern architecture. The image, copyrighted in 1907 by Fred Harvey, captures a quiet scene with a group of people seated outside the adobe home, offering a glimpse into the lifestyle and culture of the period. The muted tones and natural setting highlight the historical and geographical significance of adobe construction in arid regions.

Printed by the Detroit Publishing Co. on a “PHOSTINT” card, this postcard exemplifies early photomechanical color printing techniques that were popular in the early 1900s. The card’s reverse side is divided and marked for postage, indicating its use as a collectible and communication tool. A handwritten note signed by E.H. Gardiner adds a personal historical touch. This postcard is a remarkable collectible for enthusiasts of vintage Americana, Southwestern history, and early color postcard production.
