A color postcard of the Los Angeles Alligator Farm, ca. 1920s. A man who wears a hat, white shirt, and brown pants stands at the left next to a red bucket. He bends down and holds his left arm up to the many alligators that are on a lawn to the right. One of the animals looks up at the man with its mouth open. At the center of the back is a stone-lined pond. Across the back are many trees, a fence, path, and a red pitched-roof structure. Printed in black ink at the top right corner is, "A Monster Alligator at the / Los Angeles Alligator Farm, California." At the left of the back are the name and location of the publisher, Eno & Matteson, and the logo for the Panama California Exposition in San Diego. A square box which indicates international and domestic postage rates is at the top right corner. All of the printing on the back is in green ink. With only light abrasions at the corners, the artifact is in good condition.Lexicon
