EDITORS COMMENTS
This print from Universal Images Group (UIG) showcases a charming Greeting Card from New Mexico, dating back to approximately 1939. The image transports us to Santa Rosa, a small town nestled in the heart of New Mexico, USA. Historians estimate that this very spot was crossed by Coronado during his momentous journey of discovery in 1540-41. Santa Rosa, once a lazy village on the plains, flourished with Spanish colonization as natives tended their cattle and sheep. Even today, it retains its quaint and interesting allure. However, it was with the completion of Highway 66 that the Old Town truly came alive with new vigor and growth. This route became one of the most vital stopping points between Albuquerque, N. M. , and Amarillo, Texas. The photograph captures an era when Santa Rosa's significance soared due to its strategic location along Highway 66. It offers us a glimpse into the past - an enchanting time when travelers would pause here on their journeys through these vast lands. As we admire this historical gem captured on film nearly eight decades ago, we can't help but appreciate how Santa Rosa has evolved over time while still retaining its unique charm. This image serves as a testament to both its rich history and enduring appeal for visitors seeking an authentic experience amidst stunning natural landscapes.
