Antique & Vintage Postcards

Chrome interior postcard of the terminal lobby at Greater Southwest International Airport (formerly Amon Carter Field) in Dallas–Fort Worth, Texas, showing the dramatic goldleaf mural installation by artist James Buchanan Winn, Jr. Three large gilded relief panels dominate the wall above the restaurant entrance: a central figure of the Goddess of Flight with a six-pointed star of diamonds and emeralds at her wand tip, flanked by two horizontal pylons depicting Texas history — the right showing the Conquistadores through the surrender of Santa Anna to Sam Houston in 1836, and the left portraying pioneer days with covered wagons, cowboys, and Indians leading to modern Texas and its industries. Gift shop display cases fill the foreground. Published by Western Fotocolor, Fort Worth; card no. S-8024-4.
