Description
A real photo postcard of an adult female and two male children actors as Indians, Mission Play, San Gabriel, ca. 1912. The trio, playing a mother and children, are in costume and seated on a dirt area near a planter bed and a model of a mission building in the background while the boy at the right holds a native basket in his hands. The unused card has a Cyko stamp box, suggesting it was from an early season. With album paper residue, creases, a pinhole, stains and soiling, the overall condition is good.
