Description
Photograph of the "Old Town" Mission Bells, San Diego, ca.1890-1930. Two bells are hanging on a wooden post and lintel frame. The bells, the left one being smaller, are attached to the lintel by chains, respective for their size needs. Ropes attached to the clappers are tied (or held) to the side of the posts. The larger bell has a fancy cross where below it is the engraving of the phrase "[...]sima 1[8?]02". The shadows of the bells and supporting structure are cast on the wooden wall behind them.
