Including views of the gleaming interior, replete with southwestern tribal motifs and design elements, including one mural-sized photograph of Native Americans posing at looms in the desert. Each element was, apparently, carefully selected in homage to the Navajo tribe, the details of which are described in an accompanying text. These typed documents laid in describing the modern, streamlined manufacturing elements that allow for faster and more efficient trains, and extolling each element of the design and construction. Silver prints, the images measuring approximately 7 1/4x9 1/2 inches (18.4x24.1 cm.), and the reverse, the sheets slightly larger; in plastic sleeves; a caption list at the front. 4to, silver-stamped leather binder with a snapped cover ("The Super Chief"); interior plastic spiral binding. 1937
