- Description (Brief)
- This postcard view of Mission San Luis Rey de Francia was printed by the Curt Teich Company using photomechanical processes. The card was published in about 1914 by the I. L. Eno Company in San Diego, Calif.
- The Chicago-based Curt Teich Company manufactured printed postcards between 1898 and 1978 in association with several publishers. The firm used the term "photochrom" and later "colortone" to describe its color printing processes.
- Mission San Luis Rey de Francia was the eighteenth of twenty-one Spanish Franciscan missions founded in California between 1769 and 1823. Dedicated in 1798, this mission was established to convert American Indians of the Kumeyaay and Luiseno tribes to Catholicism.
- Today the mission serves as a parish church, a museum, and a retreat site.
