1940s and '50s American sedans line the curb before the white stucco Hotel Victoria, Chihuahua's leading hotel, with a monument to Miguel Hidalgo visible on the plaza at left in this real photo postcard signed by its unidentified photographer. Kodak Mexicana paper stock and the visible auto models place this firmly in the early 1950s.
