This vintage real photo postcard features an indigenous mother and daughter in Taos, New Mexico. They are wearing traditional clothing consistent with their culture. Note the native rug on the floor as well as the painting in the background. The woman and child seen in this ethnographic photograph may be from the Taos-speaking (Tiwa) tribe of Puebloan people. Many members of this community still live in the pueblos outside the city of Taos. The pueblos are thought to be the oldest continually inhabited communities in the United States. This postcard has an AZO stamp box indicating that it was published sometime between 1918 and 1930. The card is in very good condition (see scans). SOLD
