The gilded domes of the Basílica de Guadalupe blaze against a linen-bright sky while Tepeyac Hill rises behind, its chapel-crowned summit connected to the basilica complex by a long ceremonial staircase — a view that has drawn more pilgrims annually than almost any other Catholic site in the world. Postmarked July 18, 1938, in Mexico City's D.F. cancellation, this card traveled from Mexico to a young woman named Mildred in Muravia, New York, its left half filled with looping Spanish cursive in an expressive hand. The stamp — a 4-centavo commemorative from Mexico's 1934 Annunciation/Basilica series — adds philatelic interest, depicting the very dome shown on the card's front.
