- Description (Brief)
- This postcard view of San Gabriel Mission was printed using photomechanical processes by the Van Ornum Colorprint Company (1908-1921) in Los Angeles, Calif. The company was one of many picture postcard publishing establishments working in California.
- Mission San Gabriel Arcángel was founded in 1771, near the city of Montebello in Southern California. It was the fourth of twenty-one Spanish Franciscan missions founded in California between 1769 and 1823. The mission was established to convert American Indians of the Tongva tribe to Catholicism. It was moved in 1775 to its present location outside of downtown Los Angeles.
- Today the mission continues to minister to an American Indian community with a church and a museum.
