Antique & Vintage Postcards

From a hilltop perch, the silver city of Taxco, Guerrero unfolds in warm terracotta and white stucco — a labyrinthine colonial town cradled in a lush mountain valley, the twin baroque towers of the Santa Prisca cathedral anchoring the skyline against a dramatic green peak. Photographed by Mark Turok and printed in the Vistacolor "Lito en México" chrome process, this panoramic postcard captures Taxco at the height of its mid-century renaissance as a destination for American tourists drawn by the silver craft trade William Spratling had revived decades earlier. The rounded corners of the card are a distinctive touch of this Ammex Asociados series. An evocative, unused souvenir of one of Mexico's most picturesque Pueblo Mágico towns.
