Item Description from Seller
This vintage postcard features a vibrant lithograph image of the Harbor at San Diego, California, showcasing the bustling waterfront and historic buildings circa early 20th century. Highlighted as the first important port on the Pacific side of the Panama Canal, San Diego’s harbor earned the nickname ‘Harbor of Sun’ due to its nearly continuous clear weather. The postcard captures the lively atmosphere with early automobiles and pedestrians, providing a charming glimpse into the city’s maritime and urban development during the 1900-1919 era.
Printed by Fred Harvey, a notable publisher of scenic postcards, this piece measures standard size (approximately 5.5 x 3.5 inches) and is a licensed reprint on paper with lithographic printing techniques typical of the period. The back includes a handwritten message and two 1-cent postage stamps postmarked in July 1916 in Los Angeles, adding historical postal value. This collectible postcard appeals to enthusiasts of California history, vintage travel memorabilia, and early 20th-century Americana.
