Picture postcard, "Mission San Antonio de Padua, California - 1771"
- Description (Brief)
- This postcard view of Mission San Antonio de Padua 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 postcards between 1898 and 1978 in association with several publishers. The company used the term "photochrom," later "colortone," to describe its color printing processes.
- Mission San Antonio de Padua, founded in 1771, is located on the Salinas River south of King City in Monterey County. It was the third of twenty-one Spanish Franciscan missions established in California between 1769 and 1823, and was built to convert American Indians of the Salinan tribe to Catholicism.
- Today the mission serves a parish church.
