Item Description from Seller
San Francisco Peaks Pine Forest Williams Arizona AZ Fred Harvey Postcard
The San Francisco Peaks, dominated by Humphreys Peak (elevation 12,633 ft), rise north of Williams, Arizona, a community founded in 1881 as a railroad town on the Atchison, Topeka and Santa Fe Railway and later serving as a gateway to the Grand Canyon after the designation of U.S. Route 66 in 1926; the surrounding Ponderosa pine stands and Arizona pine forest landscapes on the Kaibab and Coconino region became a defining feature of northern Arizona scenery and early 20th-century tourism.

📌 Context
This postcard is unused and shows no handwritten message, address, stamp, or postmark. The presence of “FRED HARVEY” indicates it was published by or for the Fred Harvey Company, famous for its hotels, restaurants, and gift shops along the Atchison, Topeka and Santa Fe Railway routes, primarily in the American Southwest. These postcards often featured scenic views or depictions of Harvey Houses.
The postage rates specified (“UNITED STATES AND CANADA ONE CENT.” and “FOREIGN, TWO CENTS.”) are important for dating the postcard’s design. These rates were in effect in the United States for postcards from **March 1, 1907, to November 2, 1917**. This period is also known as the “Divided Back Era” for postcards, where the back was officially allowed to be divided into a message section on the left and an address section on the right, as seen here. Therefore, the postcard itself dates from this approximate period.
