DescriptionAn advertisement for La Fonda Hotel in Santa Fe, New Mexico. The advertisement features a color photograph of a man and a woman embracing in front of a window. The room features white adobe walls and wood ceiling beams, with a cushioned nook set into the wall. The room is filled with wood furniture, and two pairs of shoes sit on the ground around the couple. The woman is looking away from the man and smiling, with one of her legs raised. The man is resting his forehead on the woman’s head and smiling. The couple is identified through text which reads “Marla Allison & Pat Pruitt We’re already old-timers here.” Text above the couple reads, "Oh yeah, we wander. We're both artists who love La Fonda and Santa Fe. Being conscious about the environment around us, we can't wait for a greener, more comfortable and historic La Fonda." This text is located in a brown text box and is connected to the couple with a dotted line. The bottom half of the image features a small photo of the exterior of the La Fonda Hotel at night, the La Fonda Hotel’s logo, and text in a red bar which reads “Re-creating the past. Only better. Coming fall 2013.”
