About This Postcard
This postcard features a stunning mid-century view of the Painted Desert near the Black Forest in Arizona. It captures the quiet majesty of the Petrified Forest National Park desert’s vibrant, multi-colored rock layers, revealing the ancient Triassic-period siltstone and shale that give the landscape its name. The scene evokes the golden age of the great American road trip, when travelers marveled at the vast, otherworldly vistas of the Southwest from the roadside. The earthy reds and soft grays of this linen-era print offer a preserved glimpse of Arizona’s high desert exactly as it appeared to explorers nearly a century ago.
