Foldout picture postcard of scenes from San Diego, California

 

1920s

 

 

Each of these images is printed on paper rather than a heavier card stock, made to fold up inside covers of card stock. Each image has its own number, sometimes more than one, and each scene has a description at the top. Some of these images are elsewhere as postcards in this collection. They include: San Diego from the Bay, the Santa Fe Union Station, the Bank of Italy, decommissioned destroyers in San Diego Bay, "A view of San Diego's New Buildings" (downtown), the El Cortez Hotel, the electric fountain by Irving Gill (1870-1936) in Horton Plaza with the U. S. Grant Hotel, the Prado in Balboa Park, the Naval training station near Point Loma, and an artist's rendering of the unfinished Marine base. These images constitute the first side. This mailpiece must have been produced between 1927 (when the El Cortez Hotel pictured here was built) and 1930, when the Bank of Italy changed its name to the Bank of America.
