This handmade diorama was produced in the 1930s by the Landscape View Company of Tucson, Arizona, a company comprised of only a married couple and their son. They made the iconic saguaros by hand-molding clay over wire frames. Other flora were made from real Sonoran plants that were picked and dried before being painted with oil paint and placed in the scene. Real sand paves the trail to the hand-drawn pastel Sonoran mountains and sunset. The frame is made from foraged saguaro wood.
A great little piece of Arizona history!
