Comments:
Very good condition. Slight tape skinning near center back in the very upper margin. May have been matted but probably never framed. Printed on white wove paper. It seems that this print was never fully titled by the artist and appears in various searches as "Church in Taos, New Mexico" and as "Mexican Church." We have expanded the title to describe the actual church. The church, "Nuestra Senora de Guadalupe" was located in Taos, New Mexico, and was originally built in 1802. However, by around 1910 the church was in such ruinous condition that it was torn down and a new one was built circa 1911 (the church depicted here). That church was destroyed by fire on July 24, 1961, accidentally set afire by boys looking for pigeon eggs. Today it is the location of a parking lot just west of Taos Plaza.
