Notes

        By the 1960's, the Santa Fe Railway had an extensive collection of original patintings. Their collection was in excess of 600 yet they decided to reuse some of the paintings for the 1963, 1964, 1965, and 1967 calendars:

  • 1963 - Grand Canyon South Rim was first used in 1921 when it was titled
         At Canyon's Rim.

  • 1964 - Kachina Doll was first used in 1930 when it was titled
         Hopi Katchina.

  • 1965 - Turquoise Bead Maker was first used in 1926 with the same title.

  • 1967 - Land of the Navajos was first used in 1942 when it was titled
         Going to the Sing.

            If no other information is available, one can tell the difference between the earlier and later versions by looking for the Santa Fe circle and cross logo. Until 1949, all calendars had the logo overlaid or watermaked on the image.
