About this piece
Antique printed postcard titled "Plaza and Old Church, Laguna Indian Pueblo" (card number 18), showing the adobe plaza with the old church rising behind it, two women walking with pottery jars balanced on their heads, a figure at an outdoor bread oven, and wooden ladders against the adobe walls. Standard size, about 3.5 x 5.5 inches, unposted with a clean undivided-message back. Condition: good overall with light edge and corner wear and mild toning; no writing.
The back is headed "Laguna Indian Village, New Mexico — The Plaza and Old Church" and describes Laguna as one of the Indian villages on Highway 66, the Ocean to Ocean route, between Albuquerque and Gallup, noting the farms, livestock and the women's pottery.
Printed by Curt Teich, Chicago, as a "C.T. American Art" card, number 4A624, and distributed by J.R. Willis of Albuquerque, N.M. A nice piece for collectors of Laguna Pueblo, New Mexico, Route 66 and Southwest tourist postcards from the 1930s.
