Real Photo Post Cards: Ramona's Marriage Place, San Diego, California (Five Post Cards)

Five original black and white photo postcards. No date, circa 1930s-1940s. 5 1/2" x 3 1/2." Titles printed at the bottom of the images. Postcards are unused. Postcards are very clean and intact except for a few small spots and slight age toning on the back. Fine copies. This is a collection of five photo postcards featuring "Ramona's Marriage Place" in San Diego, California. Ramona's marriage place is actually Casa de Estudillo, a historic adobe residence. Jose Maria Estudillo and his son Jose Antonio Estudillo were early settlers of San Diego and built Casa de Estudillo in 1827. The Estudillo house became associated with Helen Hunt Jackson's historical novel, Ramona, when the San Diego Union published a front-page article in 1887 stating that Casa de Estudillo was supposedly the place where the character of Ramona got married. The appearance of Casa de Estudillo apparently fit the description of Ramona's marriage place in the book as well, so the association stayed. The following are the printed titles on each of the postcards: "Ramona's Marriage Place .../37; Built One and One Quarter Centuries Ago," "Wishing Well, Ramona's Marriage Place, Old San Diego, Calif .../40," "Old Spanish Caretta (Ox Cart), 400 years old, Ramona's Marriage Place, Old San Diego, Calif. /46," "Path leading to Old Spanish Bake Oven and Kitchen, Ramona's Marriage Place, Old San Diego, Calif /41," and "Mission Bell and Patio, Ramona's Marriage Place, Old San Diego, Calif. /45." The numbers at the end of the titles could either be photo numbers or year dates.. Postcard. Book Condition: Collectible-Fine. Binding: No Binding
