Condition: Pre-owned. With mild edgewear. Typical.
This charming vintage postcard captures a historic street scene in San Gabriel, California, titled "San Gabriel on a busy day." The view presents a quiet yet bustling moment along a main thoroughfare lined with early 20th-century buildings, utility poles, and railway tracks, illustrating daily life in a small California town during the early 1900s. The lithographic printing technique used here results in a delicate hand-tinted colorization, typical of postcards from the White Border era (circa 1915-1930).Published by M. Rieder, a known postcard publisher with roots in Los Angeles and Dresden, this postcard is a licensed reprint on paper measuring the standard 5.5 x 3.5 inches. Its divided back design allowed for both a message and address, with postal markings confirming its use - including a Salt Lake City postmark dated April 13, 1901, adding to its collectible appeal. The postcard's historical value is enhanced by the handwritten notes and address from the early 1900s, providing a glimpse into personal correspondence of the period. A perfect find for collectors of California or Americana postcards, early lithographs, or historical town views.
