Description (Brief)
This postcard view of Mission Santa Cruz was printed by the Curt Teich Company using photomechanical processes. It was published in about 1914 by the I. L. Eno Company in San Diego, Calif.
The Chicago-based Curt Teich Company manufactured postcards between 1898 and 1978 in association with several publishers. It used the term "Photochrom" and later "Colortone" to describe its color printing processes.
Mission Santa Cruz, founded in 1791, is located near today's city of Santa Cruz. It was the twelfth of twenty-one Spanish Franciscan missions built in California between 1769 and 1823. The mission was built to convert American Indians of the Costanoan and Yokuts tribes to Catholicism.
Today the mission buildings include a parish church, a chapel, and the original dormitory.
