- Description (Brief)
- This postcard view of San Carlos Mission (El Carmel) was printed by the Van Ornum Colorprint Company in Los Angeles, Calif. using photomechanical processes.
- The Van Ornum Colorprint Company (1908-1921) was one of many picture postcard publishing companies producing scenes in California.
- Mission San Carlos Borroméo del rio Carmelo was founded in 1770 in Carmel Valley. It was the second of twenty-one Spanish Franciscan missions established in California between 1769 and 1823. The mission, built to convert American Indians of the Esselen and Ohlone, or Costanoa, tribes to Catholicism, was restored to its present condition in 1882 by the parish church of Monterey.
- The mission continues to serve as a parish church today.
