A dense flock of pigeons covers the ground in front of a long shed, with wooden crates stacked nearby and bare hills behind. The caption places the scene at a pigeon farm near Los Angeles. Commercial squab farms of the early 1900s raised young pigeons for city markets and restaurants, and an operation of this scale would have stood out on the edge of a growing city.
Narrow white border; visible halftone dot pattern and pastel hand-coloring typical of mass-produced view cards; number 8625 printed at upper left.
No postmark, no handwriting. Divided-back "POST CARD" stock with MESSAGE/ADDRESS panels and a stamp box reading DOMESTIC ONE CENT / FOREIGN TWO CENTS; unused, lightly toned card stock.
