Enter a free text date.
The Hollywood home of painter Paul de Longpre (1855-1911) was built in 1901, designed by architect Louis Bourgeois. The house was demolished around 1920. After an 1896 New York exhibit brought him fame, de Longpre, known for his paintings of flowers like those in the gardens here, moved to Hollywood in 1899. His home and garden constituted a stop on the "Balloon Excursion" run by the Los Angeles streetcar companies. The white space on the right is for a message, and only a return address is allowed on the left side of the divided back. Both mark this card as one that appear shortly before or after postal regulations changed to allow messages on the back. The publisher's number on the back is 5125. Unused, the card is stamped "Made in Germany."
