Colorful MEXICO Linen Postcards

Mexico linen postcards in this post show tourist sites and invitations to tourists to come and visit our south of the border neighbor.  I am especially fond of old automobiles in linen postcards, which you can see by the postcards I have chosen here.  Our first view is of a favorite tourist spot, published by Curt Teich and postmarked 1948.  The sender says how much fun they have had on their trip.

Large Letter Greetings from postcards were popular outside the U.S. as well as inside.  Here is a classic Greetings from linen postcard with scenes of the area inside the letters of Juarez. 

This is the Commercial Hotel in Tijuana.  Tijuana is the first stop after crossing the border from the U.S. 

A bright linen that shows old automobiles and lots of great shop signs.  The caption on this busy scene says:  Main Street Tijuana B.C. Mexico before the Fire Disaster. 

Here is the bullfight arena, also in Tijuana.  This postcard was postmarked 1948.  Below, a special Greetings from postcard with a beautiful woman wearing a straw sombrero, a long skirt and a brightly colored woven blanket or serape.

Two poster-style travel postcards with art deco designs and brilliant colors invite tourists.  These were printed in Mexico by the Mexican Tourist Association.  On the back at the bottom of the message section is printed, P.S. When are you coming to Mexico?








PRICE ESTIMATES:  Linen postcards of Mexico are plentiful and not too expensive.  However, as with all good linen images, the prices are rising.  They currently range from about $4 - $8 with the travel posters sometimes costing as much as $10 - $12.  These estimates are for postcards in EXCELLENT condition, and they are only estimates.
