Item Description from Seller
This vintage postcard features an authentic image of an old Mexican carreta (wooden cart) situated in the courtyard of the Albuquerque Indian Building. The postcard was published in 1907 by Fred Harvey, a renowned publisher known for capturing the spirit of the American Southwest during the early 20th century. The color-tinted lithograph technique used here lends an artistic and nostalgic charm to the scene, highlighting the rustic textures of the wooden cart and the adobe-style architecture with its distinctive arches and red-tiled roof.
The Albuquerque Indian Building, part of the historic Fred Harvey establishments, was a key site promoting Native American culture and crafts. This postcard not only illustrates a unique artifact of Mexican heritage but also reflects the cultural blend and historical significance of the region. Collectors will appreciate the early date, the clear publisher imprint, and the handwritten note on the front, adding personal and historical value to this piece.
