General View of Avalon Bay, Santa Catalina Island, California
This picture postcard is very like PC-001-162, with different cropping and coloring. Toward the top of the card on the right is Sugar Loaf Rock, and below that a steamship ferry departing. Another steamship is docked behind the departing one, and toward the bottom of the card the Green Pleasure Pier has attracted people and boats, with a paddlewheeler headed for it. On the hillside is the busy amphitheatre with the end of the incline railway beside it. The Peter Gano House stands out on the mountain above and seaward of the amphitheatre. Although no publisher is given, there is a number in a typical spot for a publisher's number before the title at the top right, 7663.
