Postcard 1972 Morelia Michoacan Mexico Cathedral Garden Chrome Mexfotocolor

Morelia, Michoacán, Mexico1972ChromeGood

Shot from a rooftop vantage on a crystalline October Saturday in 1972, this chrome postcard sweeps across the grand Jardín de las Rosas toward Morelia's magnificent Cathedral — its twin Baroque towers soaring above the treetops in a city UNESCO would eventually recognize as a World Heritage Site. Period automobiles, including a rounded Volkswagen Beetle, dot the sunlit boulevard below while pedestrians stroll the shaded garden paths, capturing an everyday Saturday in one of Mexico's most architecturally splendid cities. On the reverse, a hand-written note in the upper left corner reads "10/21/72 Saturday," suggesting this was purchased by a traveler on that exact date — a small, intimate timestamp connecting a nameless visitor's Saturday outing in Michoacán to whoever eventually receives this card. Published by Mexfotocolor (México Fotográfico), card no. 2109, with the standard "Impreso en Mexico" box stamp and the distinctive MF monogram.
