A lantern slide of the bell tower of the Mission San Gabriel, ca. 1905. The image is a negative on glass with a black paper edge and shows the tower and its six various-sized bell openings and, within four of these openings, the bells. The wall separating the tower from the church building is at right and only a small portion of the south wall of the church is at the far right. In the foreground are two women standing one on the far left, as if walking toward the other, who stands next to a palm tree. Behind a low wall near the building is a planter wioth shrubs and a small tree. A palm tree's fans are at the left. At the white border to the right is the number "241" in bold and a number "13555" in parentheses. Then, there is the caption "San Gabriel Mission, Southern / California." At the left margin is the manufacturer name and location, as well as "COPYRIGHTED." Aside from some very light wear to the paper edge, there is no noticeable wear or damage and the item is in good condition.
