Description (Brief)
This postcard view of Mission San Juan Capistrano was printed by the Curt Teich Company using photomechanical processes. It was published about 1915 by Eno & Matteson in San Diego to coincide with the Panama-California Exposition.
The Chicago-based Curt Teich Company printed picture postcards between 1898 and 1978 along with many publishers. The firm used the term "Photochrom," later "Colortone," to describe its color printing processes.
Mission San Juan Capistrano, founded in 1776, is located southeast of Los Angeles. The seventh of twenty-one Spanish Franciscan missions built in California between 1769 and 1823, its purpose was to convert American Indians of the Luiseño tribe to Catholicism.
Today the mission serves as a parish chapel and a museum.
