To celebrate the establishment of Saguaro National Monument in 1933 (designated a National Park in 1994), the Tucson Chamber of Commerce issued this rare park brochure with a cover of thin copper metal. The brochure is the first time the city of Tucson, Arizona, publically embraced and promoted the newly formed monument, marking the beginning of many years of close cooperation between the park and the city. The brochure cover is made from copper, for which the state is famous, and depicts a scene of the Sonoran Desert with many Saguaro cacti, for which the monument was named.
