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.

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 "Frasher's Foto" logo is branded upon the bottom right corner of the postcard.
