Postcard 1937 Taxco Guerrero Mexico Rincon Tipico Linen Fischgrund Marquez

Taxco, Guerrero, Mexico1937LinenGood

Drenched in the warm amber light of a Guerrero afternoon, this 1937 linen-era postcard captures a quintessential corner of Taxco — "Rincón Típico de Taxco, Gro." — with the ornate Churrigueresque facade of the Parroquia de Santa Prisca rising dramatically at left, its gilded stone portal and iron gate framing an angel in mid-benediction, while a whitewashed colonial building with red tile roof glows peacefully under a soft blue sky to the right. Photographed by Luis Márquez, one of Mexico's foremost early-twentieth-century documentary photographers whose work defined the nation's visual identity for a generation, this card belongs to the celebrated "Series Arco Iris" published by Publicaciones Fischgrund of Mexico City — the same house that held exclusive publishing rights to Diego Rivera's pictorial maps of Mexico. The reverse is unposted, clean, and carries the full Fischgrund imprint alongside the P. Sánchez H. y Cía. printer mark and the "Printed in Mexico 1937" date line, making this a precisely dateable artifact of the golden age of Mexican tourism printing.
