This collotype photographic postcard shows castle-like buildings with towers set against a background of mountains in warm black and white. This was the Southern California State Asylum for the Insane and Inebriates, also known as Patton State Hospital, opened in 1893, a psychiatric hospital in the Kirkride tradition. The unincorporated community named Patton eventually became part of San Bernardino. Since the back is undivided--to be used for the address and postal markings only--the message must be written on the picture side, and this is where the sender has handwritten a few sentences in cursive with uneven black ink. The publisher's number 7216 is in the lower left corner of the image and its name in the lower left corner of the margin.
