Postcard showing Scotty's Castle and Death Valley Scotty, Death Valley, California, circa 1930s

Date

1930 to 1939

Archival Collection

L. F. Manis Photograph Collection

Description

A colored postcard showing an artist's representation of Scotty's Castle, Death Valley Scotty, and a stone covered in petroglyphs in Death Valley, California. Located within the far northern region of Death Valley in Grapevine Canyon, the Death Valley Ranch, more commonly known as Scotty's Castle, is a prime example of Spanish-Mediterranean styling during the Roaring '20s and Depression '30s. Death Valley Scotty, 1872-1954, was a prospector, performer, and con man whose was made famous by his scams involving gold mining near Death Valley. The petroglyph-covered rock beside Death Valley Scotty was designed by Native Americans who inhabited the valley hundreds of years ago. Transcribed across the borders of the image: "Death Valley National Monument, California; Death Valley Scotty And His Castle." The "Frasher's Foto" logo is branded upon the bottom right corner of the postcard.
