Description
This vintage color postcard showcases the Alamo’s light beige courtyard, contrasting beautifully against a pale blue and yellow sky, with a modern car and people visible in the foreground. The Alamo, where brave Texans like Crockett, Bowie, and Travis made their final stand, is depicted in detail. This evocative image, published by Nic Tengg, is a mid-20th-century (1-cent stamp) souvenir of San Antonio.
