l.l. to l.c. printed: THE OLDEST HOUSE IN AMERICA, SANTA FE, NEW MEXICO.
Verso:
u.l. printed: SANTA FE, the oldest town inhabited by whites in Amer- \ ica, was originally an Indian Pueblo. Its earliest historical \ mention is 1605, when it became capitol of the province, \ which proves that it was already a Spanish town. Undoubt- \ edly the first settlement was in the 16th century, by Spanish \ adventurers who settled in the Pueblo much as the later \ "Squaw Men" settled among the Indians of the plains. The \ erection of this house, so tradition relates, was by the Pueblo \ Indians, before the coming of the Spanish settlers
l.l. to u.l. printed along left edge: PUBLISHED BY SOUTHWEST ARTS & CRAFTS, SANTA FE, N.M. MADE IN U S A
