Color view of the Mount of the Holy Cross, its northeast face marked by the celebrated cross-shaped snow couloir, with a rocky, tumbling mountain stream and conifers in the foreground. The peak in Eagle County, Colorado, became a national sensation after William Henry Jackson photographed the natural snow cross in 1873, and it was proclaimed a National Monument in 1929. The card's figure of 14,176 feet reflects an early survey; the summit is now given as about 14,005 feet.
White border; color halftone/lithograph printing with visible screen; light edge and corner wear.
No postmark. Divided back; white border; publisher imprint The Hyde Paper Co., Colorado Springs, Colo.; C.T. American Art; blank address and message.
