Description
Photograph of a drawing by Edward Vischer depicting the Mission San Juan Bautista and the Corpus Cristi Procession, ca.1862. The mission church and a long low building fronted by a series of arches attached at the left of the church form one side of the square in which many people are gathered as a procession of priests walks along the perimeter. Horses are hitched near a two-story building in the right foreground. Another two-story building at left is surrounded by a fence, in whose yard trees are growing. Two tall crosses stand at either end of the square. Near the church, two bells hanging from wooden frames are visible. Ten birds fly overhead. The text below the image reads: "Mission of San Juan Bautista, Monterey County".
