A smiling Mexican woman in a pink head scarf is showing her colorful pottery, while behind her, a visiting American couple is welcomed into a small, red roofed Mexican village with a fresh flower. In the sky above, a Pan American airplane is soaring past a cloud-like image of an historic Aztec warrior in full battle dress. This historical reference, along with the stone image of Quetzl Coatl, the feathered serpent of the sun and harvest, show Mexico as a country rich with culture but also in tune with the 20th century.
