1937 Curt Teich “C.T. Art-Colortone” postcard depicting Pueblo bread baking traditions in the American Southwest.

Collector’s Note

Southwestern postcards issued by Curt Teich during the 1930s–1940s remain highly collectible for their richly colored “C.T. Art-Colortone” printing and romanticized depictions of Native American and desert life. Southwestern subjects—including Pueblo villages, adobe architecture, Native American traditions, and desert landscapes—became especially popular as automobile tourism expanded along routes to the Grand Canyon, Santa Fe, and the broader Four Corners region.

Vintage 1937 Curt Teich "C.T. Art-Colortone" (No.: 122) postcard depicting Pueblo bread baking traditions in the American Southwest. The image shows a Pueblo Indian woman baking bread beside a traditional outdoor adobe oven, set against clustered pueblo village architecture. 

Published by Curt Teich of Chicago and distributed by Southwest Post Card Company of Albuquerque, this card carries stamp box code 7A-H2232. It was later mailed March 25, 1947, from the Grand Canyon region of Arizona to Stockton, Ohio, with a 1¢ George Washington stamp (now separated but included).

Condition is good overall. Water damage appears primarily on the reverse left side and does not significantly affect the front image or coloration. The handwritten message remains readable, and the card is packaged in a protective postcard sleeve.

Just a quick heads‑up: the photos reveal details far better than text alone, so they’re worth a close review.

We share as much accurate information as possible about each item—from provenance to condition—but the images often show the nuances best. If you ever need more details, we’re always happy to help.

Postcard Eras & Collecting Guide

  • Real Photo Postcards (c. 1890–1945)

    Early printed lithographs and Real Photo Postcards (RPPC) offer rich historical detail, documenting towns, events, family portraits, and everyday life. Disaster postcards depicting floods, fires, train wrecks, and other catastrophic events, were a popular way to share news as photographs could quickly be turned into postcards. Many RPPCs are scarce and unique due to their small‑batch production.

  • Pre-Linen Litho & Linen Postcards (c. 1907–1950)

    Pre‑Linen Litho cards (c. 1907–1929) were printed using smooth chromolithography and tinted halftone methods, producing soft, painterly views before the textured linen era. Linen postcards (c. 1930s–1950s) introduced high–rag‑content paper with a woven surface and bold saturated colors that reflected the optimism postwar travel culture. Together, these eras showcase the shift from early color printing.

  • Chrome Postcards (c.1939–)

    Chrome postcards, introduced in 1939, feature glossy surfaces, vivid color, and photographic imagery made possible by modern color film processes. The term “chrome” derives from Kodachrome, Eastman Kodak’s groundbreaking color film. Mid‑century examples depicting motels, highways, city skylines, national parks, and tourist destinations are collected for their documentation of postwar American travel and roadside culture.
