About this postcard

A rustic stone canopy stands over a basin at the Fountain of Youth, its sign reading 'FOUNTAIN OF YOUTH. 1513.' Trees and plants surround the stonework, and a small numbered plaque is fixed to one pillar. The 1513 date points to Ponce de León's Florida voyage, the story that drew visitors to the site in St. Augustine.
