One of the great boulevards of the Americas stretches into a hazy vanishing point in this gorgeous early-1900s color lithograph — the Paseo de la Reforma in Mexico City, its tree-lined promenades flanked by allegorical statues and horse-drawn carriages, with the twin towers of distant hills barely visible at the horizon, while in the foreground a gilded equestrian statue anchors the composition in imperial splendor. Sent in December 1903 by E.L. (writing from 1227 Calle Paul, Mexico City, care of "Muse Légard") to a Mrs. Gale on Slate Street in Seneca Falls, New York, this card carries a handwritten caption on the image face itself: "The beautiful mile-long avenue leading to the president's summer palace at Chapultepec." The Mexico 2-centavo green stamp is cancelled with a crisp December 20, 1903 datestamp — making this a firmly dated Porfirian-era document, sent during the height of Díaz's modernization of Mexico City, just seven years before the Revolution. The Republica Mexicana / Republique Mexicaine bilingual back format and JCS publisher code confirm a pre-Divided Back era card (pre-1907).
