Presented in the same format as Rocky Mountain Views and similar picture books, this one is subtitled, “Along the Santa Fe.” The railroad influence is seen by the fact that the booklet contains as many photos photos of Santa Fe trains as it does Fred Harvey hotels and other facilities.
Surprisingly, the booklet does not include a photo of El Tovar, Fred Harvey’s grand hotel overlooking the Grand Canyon. It does include exterior and interior photos of Hopi House, which is next to El Tovar. The booklet doesn’t identify it as a Fred Harvey facility, but in fact it was the company’s main gift shop at Canyon Village.

The cover painting of “the First Santa Fe Train” is also shown in the above postcard. Frank P. Sauerwein, the painter, actually called the painting “Navajos Gazing upon a Railroad Train.” Born in New Jersey in 1871, Sauerwein graduated from the Philadelphia Museum School of Art and soon moved west to Denver for relief from tuberculosis. He spent much time at the Grand Canyon and in Taos, but unfortunately died at the young age of 39.
The other painting, showing the Arizona desert, is by Fernand Lundgren. Born in Hagerstown, Maryland, in 1857, he studied painting at the Pennsylvania Academy of Fine Arts (where Sauerwein also briefly studied). When Lundgren was 35, the Santa Fe hired him to make sketches and paintings along its route. He ended up spending most of the rest of his life painting desert scenes in California, Arizona, and New Mexico.
