Balloon Route Excursions, Los Angeles, California, US
This is the back of a picture postcard of the Hotel Robinson. It was produced before 1907, when postal regulations changed to allow messages on he back of the postcard. At the top left of the card is a small drawing (presumably as an advertisement) of a balloon tied to a streetcar, with banners and other printing, labelled the "Balloon Route Excursion," a sightseeing tour begun around 1900. This is an untraveled postcard.
