Two early hanging postcards of Arizona events. A.) Hanging of John Heath at Tombstone, real photo postcard, early, c1908-1915 printing. Heath's hanging was in 1884. Famous Tombstone photographer C.S. Fly captured the image and sold them into the 1940s according to Jeremy Rowe in "Arizona Real Photo Postcards," 2007 page 75. One of the later images of the Heath hanging was published by Fraser. This postcard is unused and in excellent condition. B.) Hand colored printed card by the Brisley Drug Co. entitled Execution of Mexican murderers Prescott Ariz 1904, no1. This card is a single card of a 3 card sequence and shows the 3 murderers on their knees perhaps receiving last rights.
