Artifact Overview
Few places seemed more romantic than the American West to tourists in the early 20th century. Many headed westward, seeking the untamed natural beauty and vast open spaces that epitomized opportunity, individuality, and what it meant to be American. This postcard depicts motorists on Hermit Road, a scenic roadway along the South Rim of Arizona's Grand Canyon.
