Tower of Legends- Forest Lawn Memorial Park, Glendale, California

 

 

 

Photographic papers: EKC

This is a Real Photo Post Card, meaning that it was created by a process in which any photographer could take a "snapshot," deliver the negative to a photo developer and have it printed on a postcard backing. The special papers used for this process are indexed by brand and date, and the EKC papers used for this photograph were issued from 1930-1950, according to the symbols bordering the stampbox on the divided back. No publisher is given, but the number X-70 is written in the left lower corner, along with "PV" and what might be a copyright symbol. The Tower of Legends was built in 1924 and torn down April 2, 1948. It was 87 feet high, with a hexagonal structure and carvings of people near the top. A postcard of this same run for sale was postmarked 1950.
