Mailed on a January day in 1910, this vivid hand-colored printed card captures the sun-warmed streetscape of Redlands, California, where the cream-stucco Presbyterian Church — with its Romanesque arcade, rose window, and ornate bell tower — stands in easy companionship with the red-brick Richardsonian Romanesque YMCA building just to its right. Two travelers, Eunice and Ethel, dashed off a quick note — "Here for the day" — before posting it eastward to Reba in Malden, Massachusetts, a small human moment bridging the orange-grove warmth of the Inland Empire and the cold New England winter. Redlands was then a prosperous citrus boomtown of roughly 12,000 souls, boasting a property valuation of over $16,000,000 — facts the publisher helpfully printed right on the card back. The card was printed in Germany, as was standard for the finest American pictorial cards of the era, and bears a 1¢ green Washington stamp canceled at Redlands on January 25, 1910.
