A pair of burros plods unhurried down a sun-dappled Cuernavaca street while their muleteer follows behind — this warm, slightly faded color-tinted postcard is also a genuine piece of human correspondence, mailed from Mexico City on March 4, 1947, by a traveler named Ora who wrote to her friend Jean in Rochester, New York: "This is typical of Mexico. Am enjoying my stay here. The weather is delightful and it is all so different. Trust you are well." Published under the Fischgrund imprint — a noted Mexico postcard publisher associated with Diego Rivera and José Clemente Orozco fresco reproductions — the card depicts a quintessential mid-century Mexican street scene, with whitewashed walls, flowering trees, and a utility pole framing the pastoral moment. Two Mexican 3-centavo blue stamps frank the card, their Correos México design featuring the Angel of Independence.
