Item Description from Seller
This vintage postcard features a hand-colored image of a traditional Mexican adobe house, showcasing the unique architectural style of the Southwest. The scene captures a rustic adobe structure surrounded by a barren landscape with additional adobe buildings and a lone tree in the background. The postcard is marked with the name Fred Harvey, a well-known publisher famous for his early 20th-century postcards depicting American Southwest scenes.
Printed on linen-textured cardstock, the postcard exhibits the distinct grainy texture and vibrant color typical of the 1930s-1940s linen era postcards. The reverse side includes a divided back with red ink printing, indicating it was produced for the United States and Canada postal rates of the time. The card is unposted and bears no writing or stamps, making it ideal for collectors interested in early Southwestern Americana and Fred Harvey memorabilia. The card’s publisher is noted as Detroit Publishing Co., a prominent postcard manufacturer during this era.
