Description (Brief)
This postcard view of Mission San Carlos was printed by the Curt Teich Company of Chicago using photomechanical processes. It was published in about 1914 by the I. L. Eno Company in San Diego.
The Curt Teich Company manufactured printed postcards between 1898 and 1978 in association with several publishers. The company used the term "photochrom," later "colortone," to describe its color printing processes.
Mission San Carlos Borroméo del rio Carmelo is located near the town of Monterey, the original capital of Spanish and later Mexican, California. Mission San Carlos was the second of twenty-one Spanish Franciscan missions founded in California between 1769 and 1823. It was established to convert American Indians of the Esselen and Ohlone, or Costanoan, tribes to Catholicism.
Today the mission serves as a parish church.
