Item description from seller

Boudoir card depicting the Santa Fe, Prescott and Phoenix Railway near Prescott, Arizona. Erwin Baer photograph on Hamaker card. "S. F. P. & P. R.R. - No. 12 Point of Rocks, Baer, Prescott, Arizona" is in the negative; handwritten title is on the card and on the photo; "Hamaker, Prescott, Arizona" is embossed on the card. No content on verso. Photo measures 7 ½" x 4 ½"; card measures 8 ¼" x 5". No date but likely late 19th/early 20th century. Card has moderate soiling and light wear to edges; photo has light soiling.

Hamker, whose name is embossed on the card, collaborated with Baer in Prescott (Mautz p. 53). With good composition and clarity this would be a nice acquisition for those collecting railroad or territorial Arizona material. …
