l.r. printed: COPR FRED HARVEY
Verso:
u.l. printed: FRED \ HARVEY "PHOSTINT" \ TRADE MARK REG U. S. PAT OFF. \ MADE ONLY BY DETROIT PUBLISHING CO.
u.l. printed: With the first view of the Canyon from El Tovar \ one turns over in his mind all the superlatives of \ his vocabulary in a vain effort to find a descriptive \ word that fits the scene. The futility of this is \ evident in a little while, and the observer settles \ down upon the rim to try to form in simple words \ his idea of what the Canyon really is, and what it \ means, as it lies there in the sun, so big, so grand \ and so inspiring.
