Antique & Vintage Postcards

Crimson and amber bleed into the darkening Pacific horizon in this atmospheric night-shot chrome postcard of Mazatlán's famous bay, with the silhouettes of the Tres Islas — Three Islands — punctuating the glowing skyline and the lights of the malecón waterfront shimmering below. "Saludos desde Mazatlán" (Greetings from Mazatlán) is emblazoned in warm yellow script across the dramatic dusk sky. Published by Litográfica Turmex/Vistacolor, catalog V5623, this card was sent by Paula to her friend Millie with a warm message about a family reunion vacation — Mom, Dad, Ronnie, and Jean all together at last — and the observation that Mexican cities look nothing like the USA. A second writer, possibly Ronnie, adds a note about finally seeing "our relatives" and urges Millie to come visit next time.
