My wife was cleaning out some boxes of stuff from her late mother and came across a stack of old post cards. These I thought might be of interest to the Forum. I know there is some sort of copyright issue here so in order to minimise problems I am including the name of the photographer and the publisher. These were collected during a vacation taken by my wife's family in 1966 and have that date written in pencil on the back.
The first post card was published and distributed by Petley Studios, Phoenix Arizona. The photo was taken by a Mr. John E. Floodberg. The caption on the back reads:
"TAOS PUEBLO Shown here are the unique baking ovens. Preheated by building a fire inside, then scraping out the ashes, the bread is baked by the retained heat."
The second post card was published by Petley Studios, Albuquerque, New Mexico. The photographer was Mr. Walter Haussamen. The caption on the back reads:
"INDIAN GRINDING CORN, The method employed here is the same as has been used for hundreds of years. Nearby is the Adobe oven, an item as essential as food itself in the Indians daily life."
The third post card was published and distributed by Bob Petley, Phoenix, Arizona. The photograph was taken by Mr. Les Reed. The caption on the back reads:
"TAOS INDIAN PUEBLO Northern New Mexico"
Enjoy,
Wiley
