Gleaming pre-war automobiles line both sides of a wide, sun-drenched Avenida Revolución in a vivid linen-era snapshot of Tijuana at its mid-century tourist peak — the "Silks" and "French Pools" signs blazing in neon, the Aztec curio shop anchoring the left, and the hills of Baja rising at the end of the boulevard like a painted backdrop. Mailed from Los Angeles on June 18, 1946, this postcard carries a handwritten note from a mother named (no last name used) to her son Wilbur: "Viva & Bill & Annie came to see us today. Sure enjoyed seeing them. Love, Mom." A 1-cent George Washington stamp (Scott #804) pays the postcard rate, postmarked Los Angeles, CA. Addressed to the Hughart household at 4023 E. 69th Street, Kansas City 5, Missouri. Published by Hotel Martinez, Tijuana, and printed by Hester Colorgraphic Studio, San Diego — a classic linen production house for Baja California tourist cards.
