Description

TINTED POSTCARD, "WADING POOL, CITY PARK, ALHAMBRA, CALIF.," published for Willson's Book Store, Alhambra, and dated, though not stamped, 27 March 1928. The image shows children frolicking in the pool, which includes a pedestal fountain at the center. In the background is a red-tile roofed building near the plunge. The wading pool was donated to the park by Walter P. Temple for its 1921 opening. Little wear or damage is noticed, so the condition is good.
