A vast flock of pigeons covers the ground, wooden crates and the long shed of a commercial pigeon farm, with bare hills in the background. The printed caption names it simply as a pigeon farm near Los Angeles. Such squab and pigeon ranches supplied the Los Angeles market in the early twentieth century, and views like this one were popular novelties for tourists.
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.
