About This Vintage Postcard
Take a breathtaking look at Jerome, Arizona, famously known as the "Billion Dollar Copper Camp," through the lens of mid-century photographer Norton Louis Avery. This classic view, captured from the winding mountain highway west of town, reveals the unique terraced architecture of Jerome as it clings to the steep slopes of Cleopatra Hill. In the soft distance, just above the highway’s guardrail, you can catch the faint, ethereal outline of the San Francisco Peaks near Flagstaff. This scene captures Jerome in its transition from a bustling mining hub to a beloved mountainside artist colony, preserving the rugged, vertical charm that makes this "Ghost City" a timeless desert treasure.
