Description
Photograph of old mission bells in San Diego, ca.1880. Posts can be seen holding up a horizontal wooden plank from which two bells hang. The bells are suspended by chains. The bell on the right is smaller, and both are tied to the vertical posts with string. The wall of a building composed from horizontal wooden planks is visible behind the bells, while stones line the ground in front of the wall. A hill is visible in the left background.
