Back of picture postcard of Hotel Florence in San Diego, California

 

04/07/1915

 

 

By 1909 the Hotel Florence named and shown on the front of this picture postcard was known as the Hotel Robinson, so given the postmark here on the back of this card (1915) the card's owner must have had or acquired it at least six years before. It would not be younger then 1907, because this was the first year in which postal regulations allowed part of this side of a postcard to be used for a message. This card bears a postmark, a promotional cancellation mark, and postage, as well as a message and address.
