Item Description from Seller
This vintage postcard features a colorful linen-style illustration of La Fonda, the Fred Harvey Hotel, located in Santa Fe, New Mexico. The card beautifully captures the unique Pueblo Revival architectural style of the hotel, highlighting its terraces and traditional southwestern design against a clear blue sky. La Fonda is an iconic landmark that embodies the charm of the surrounding Spanish-Indian country, noted for its sunny patio, restful lounge with a fireplace, and notable dining rooms such as the New Mexican Room and La Cantina.
Printed by the Fred Harvey company, this postcard dates back to 1950, as confirmed by the clear Santa Fe postmark on the reverse side. The postcard also includes a detailed description of the hotel’s attractions, making it a valuable collectible for those interested in southwestern U.S. history, vintage travel memorabilia, and Fred Harvey establishments. The postcard remains unposted, preserving its original integrity as a collector’s item.
