Vintage Photo Volcano De Fuero, Antigua, Guatemala Postcard

Description

Vintage photo postcard picturing a view of the smoking erupting volcano Vocan de Fuego (Volcano of Fire). The volcano is located in Guatemala on the borders of Chimaltenango, Escuintla, and Sacatepequez. It sits very near to the city of Antigua. It is still a very active volcano erupting most recently in November of 2018.
The back of the card has a Kodak Paper stamp box (1950-Present).
The back of the card has some extremely light brown, age-related surface foxing along all four edges; the foxing does not at all affect the overall appearance of the back face of the card.
The card has just the slightest amount of wear in all four corners and the corners are just the slightest bit rounded.
The card is in
VERY GOOD
condition per grading standard below, but please look carefully at the scans of both the front and back sides of the card and judge the condition for yourself.
The card is postally unused and standard postcard size.
