A lone red Pacific Electric-style streetcar glides away down the shaded cathedral of Holt Avenue in Pomona, California, its diminutive form almost swallowed by the magnificent canopy of mature pepper and elm trees arching overhead — a scene of small-city tranquility that feels miles removed from the bustle of nearby Los Angeles. Postmarked Pomona, California on October 25, 1911, the card was sent from a writer identifying herself from Los Angeles to a Mrs. Geo. Maurer at Spanish Ranch, Plumas County — a remote Northern California cattle ranching address that lends a charming rural-to-rural human thread to the piece. The message, written in a graceful period hand, speaks of Pomona life and the Southern California climate with evident enthusiasm. Published by the Benham Company of Los Angeles and manufactured in California, the card is a fine example of the early undivided-to-divided-back transition era, with the distinctive printed "C. T. Photo Colorit" detail confirming quality color processing.
