Picture postcard, "Mission San Ynez, California"
- Description (Brief)
- This postcard view of Mission San Ynez was printed by the Detroit Publishing Company in about 1910, using a copyrighted photolithographic process called "Photostint."
- The Detroit Publishing Company (previously known as the Detroit Photographic Company) was first listed in Detroit city directories in 1888. Its manager, William A. Livingstone, invited famous landscape photographer William Henry Jackson to join the company as a partner in 1897. Jackson brought with him his own photographic images, which would be used by the company.
- Mission Santa Ynez (or Inés), founded in 1804, is located northwest of Santa Barbara. It was the nineteenth of twenty-one Spanish Franciscan missions to be established in California between 1769 and 1823, and was built to convert American Indians of the Chumash tribe to Catholicism.
- Today the mission serves as both a parish church and a museum.
