Avalon and Bay, Santa Catalina Island, California

 

 

 

Van Ornum Colorprint Co., Los Angeles, California

A steamship ferry comes into port at the Steamer Pier. The Peter Gano or Holly Hill House, built in 1890, dominates the hill on the right side, while seemingly above it, toward the horizon, Sugar Loaf Rock defines the northwest border of Avalon Bay. The Green Pleasure Pier (built 1909) shows toward the bottom. The motto "On the Road of a Thousand Wonders" on the back referred to the Coast Line-Shasta Route of the Southern Pacific Ralway. Maps of the period indicate that San Pedro was on this route, from which one could catch a steamship to Catalina. Southern Pacific promotional booklets date from 1907 and 1908. The contributor began operations in 1908. The publisher's number on the back is E5.
