Linen, Section 2, G to Indians
Arizona, Linen Radio Cards Post Card Collection Section 2—G to Indians-Apache By Al Ring LINEN ERA (1930-1945 (1960?) New American printing processes allowed printing on postcards with a high rag content. This was a marked improvement over the “White Border” postcard. The rag content also gave these postcards a textured “feel”. They were also cheaper to produce and allowed the use of bright dyes for image coloring. They proved to be extremely popular with roadside establishments seeking cheap advertising. Linen postcards document every step along the way of the building of America’s highway infra-structure. Most notable among the early linen publishers was the firm of Curt Teich. The majority of linen postcard production ended around 1939 with the advent of the color “chrome” postcard. However, a few linen firms (mainly southern) published until well into the late 50s. Real photo publishers of black & white images continued to have success. Faster reproducing equipment and lowering costs led to an explosion of real photo mass produced postcards. Once again a war interfered with the postcard industry (WWII). During the war, shortages and a need for military personnel forced many postcard companies to reprint older views WHEN printing material was available. Photos at 43%.

It was during this time that Europ ean America n s , fo ll o wing new east-west wagon roads, approached the rim of the Grand Canyon.1 The Atlantic & Pacific Railroad’s arrival in the Southwest accelerated this settlement, opening the region to entrepreneurs who initially invested in traditional economic ventures.Capitalists would have a difficult time figuring out how to profitably exploit the canyon,how- ever, biding their time until pioneers had pointed the way to a promising export economy: tourism. Beginning in the late 1890s, conflicts erupted between individualists who had launched this nascent industry and corporations who glimpsed its potential.

Tangible - Intangible Heritage(S) – Design, Social and Cultural Critiques on the Past, Present and the Future
TANGIBLE - INTANGIBLE HERITAGE(S) – DESIGN, SOCIAL AND CULTURAL CRITIQUES ON THE PAST, PRESENT AND THE FUTURE • Paper / Proposal Title: Questions of Heritage, Cultural Appropriation, and Modern Design at Mary Colter’s Hopi House, Grand Canyon, Arizona, 1905 • Author(s) Name: Rebecca Houze • University or Company Affiliation: Northern Illinois University (US) • Presentation Method. I would like to: i. present in person (with a written paper) • Abstract (300 words): This paper explores the thorny subject of heritage by examining Hopi House, a living museum and curio shop at the Grand Canyon, Arizona, which was established as a United States National Park in 1919, and is today a UNESCO World Heritage site. Architect Mary Colter designed Hopi House in 1905 for the Fred Harvey Company, a purveyor of hotels and restaurants along the route of the Atchison, Topeka and Santa Fe Railway in the late nineteenth and early twentieth centuries. Modeled on the ancient Puebloan architecture at Old Oraibi, a Hopi village in Navajo County, Arizona, dating to the ninth century CE, Colter’s Hopi House raises questions about the relationship between travel, tourism, heritage, national identity, cultural appropriation, and preservation. How can we reconcile the efforts made by the U.S. National Park Service to express traces of the land’s indigenous past, both real and imagined, in the design of the parks, with the U.S. government’s violent Indian wars of the nineteenth- century, in which native peoples were killed, or were removed from their hereditary lands by force and through disadvantageous monetary exchanges? Did the railway companies bring new economic opportunity to the indigenous artists whose lands they traversed, or did they facilitate the U.S.
