This is an exceptional and original 1914 real photograph postcard from the era of the Mexican Revolution, capturing a significant landscape scene: the road between Chapultepec, Monterey, and Cadereyta. Measuring 9cm x 14cm, this postcard was produced using the period "real photo" process, where a photographic emulsion is printed directly onto the card stock, resulting in a detailed and durable image that has stood the test of time.
The image offers a rare glimpse into the infrastructure and terrain during a pivotal moment in Mexico's history, two men with donkeys documenting military movements, supply routes, or regional geography critical to the revolution. The road connecting these locations held strategic importance, and this photograph serves as a visual record of the era's conditions.
Unpublished and retaining its original state, this postcard is a valuable primary source for historians, collectors, and enthusiasts of Mexican history, revolutionary ephemera, or early 20th-century photography. Its survival makes it a museum-caliber artifact for display or research.
