- Description (Brief)
- This postcard view of Mission Santa Clara de Asis was printed by the Curt Teich Company using photomechanical processes. It was published in about 1914 by the I. L. Eno Company in San Diego, Calif.
- The Chicago-based Curt Teich Company printed postcards between 1898 and 1978 in association with several publishers. It used the term "photochrom" and later "colortone" to describe its color printing processes.
- The postcard portrays an image of daily life at the Mission Santa Clara soon after its founding in 1777. The mission was the eighth of twenty-one Spanish Franciscan missions built in California between 1769 and 1823. It was established to convert American Indians of the Bay Miwok, Tamyen, or Costanoan, and Yokuts tribes to Catholicism.
- A college and a church now occupy the original site, located at the southern end of the San Francisco Bay.
