Saint Francis Shrine, Glenwood Mission Inn, Riverside, California

 

1910s

 

Neuner Printing and Lithograph Company, Los Angeles, California

The shrine, prominent on the right, consists of a concrete corner piece with a pedestal and statue, under which is a bell. Pots are on either side of the statue. On the left is a pergola with vines, and behind the shrine are trees. The back of the card identifies this as "Padre Juniperra's[sic] shrine in the court" and states that it is "a reminder of the beneficent life of the founder of the Spanish Missions in California." The publisher's number is in the lower right corner of the card: 1326. Although the publisher is identified as "The Benham Company," the logo on the back is of the Benham Indian Trading Company, another Benham trade name. The Benham Company only lasted from 1910 to 1915.
