Description
A commanding view of the California State Capitol surrounded by the Capitol Park grounds is the image offered on this penny postcard published in San Francisco but printed in Germany. Cards printed in Germany were not widely distributed in the United States after 1915, and despite the fact that there is a border around this card, an indicator of a later printing, this card was probably published several years before the First World War. The State Agricultural Pavilion is visible in the background to the left, but by 1915 the California State Fair was housed on Stockton Boulevard and the agricultural building had been struck and Capitol Park expanded.
