Antique & Vintage Postcards

Real photo postcard of the canal at Xochimilco, Distrito Federal, Mexico, showing the famous trajineras — elaborately decorated flat-bottomed boats with arched floral canopies bearing names — crowded in the waterway. The Restaurant Moctezuma is prominently visible on the right bank with figures gathered on its platform. A gondolier poles a boat in the foreground, and the tree-lined canal stretches into the distance beneath overcast skies. Credited to photographer E. Lopez.
