This vintage 1940 linen postcard captures a striking and culturally rich scene at Old Walpi, one of the oldest continuously inhabited villages in North America. The image shows a young child climbing a tall, rustic wooden ladder to the third floor of a traditional Hopi pueblo home. Walpi is a living village where the homes are passed down through a matrilineal clan lineage.
The textured linen surface brings out the soft colors and fine details, giving the card a timeless, painterly quality. Ideal for collectors of Southwestern Americana, indigenous culture, or early photography, this postcard is a unique and historical keepsake.
