A woman with a beachball introduces this small, comb-bound booklet of color photographs of San Diego and surrounding area. Her illustrated page has a cutout with the first photograph (here just beneath her) showing through: the "Plaza de Panama and California Tower in Balboa Park." The next (third in the first column on the left) is the U. S. Grant Hotel and Horton Plaza. The third is the lily pond in front of the Botanical Building in Balboa Park. The fourth (top of second column) shows ocean waves at a beach at La Jolla. The fifth (top of third column) shows a street in Tijuana, Mexico. The sixth (third coumn, second from top) shows an area of beach, "The Cove," at La Jolla. The seventh photograph (second from the top in the second column) is of the Cabrillo National Monument on Point Loma. "Ramona's Marriage Place" (Casa de Estudillo) is in the eighth photograph, which must have been taken before 1968, when the California State Park Service began restoration of the Casa de Estudillo, mistakenly identified as the place author Helen Hunt Jackson had in mind while writing her 1884 novel "Ramona." The next to last photograph is of a couple of boats in San Diego Harbor, a shot taken just offshore wth the old San Diego Civic Center. The last photograph is of Mission San Diego de Alcala, the first Franciscan mission in California. The publisher's number on he address page is A-151. Single-digit postal codes are used, meaning the cards were manufactured before the advent of ZIP codes in 1963.
