A black and white photograph of Mission San Juan Capistrano, ca. 1930s. The structure is at the center of the back with an arcade along the left wall. At the top right of the front wall is a curve topped with a cross. To the right of this are the four arches of the bell wall with the first two bells visible within the openings. At the far right are the high brick walls of the mission which are in disrepair. Across the front is a garden with a tree, bushes, and flowers at the left. Also at the left is a statue of a Franciscan father at the front of a cross embracing an Indian boy. A chain surrounds the base of the statue at the bottom. At the center is a dirt walk and a ceramic vase, and at the right is a lawn and bushes. The photograph was housed in Agnes Temple's album which is item 96.7.94.1 along with many other photographs which span 96.7.1.1-.93.1. Contact sheets 2000.159.1.1-.8 show the original positioning of the images within the album. With foxing at the back and stains along the top edge, the artifact is in poor condition.
