Object type postcard

Description
English: Postcard of Venice by night, Venice, Calif, showing the Ship Cafe Cabrillo and Pier.

A beacon shines out to the ocean from the Venice Auditorium just to the right of a lighted boardwalk on the far left, all the lights appear to be lit on the Abbot Kinney Pier and that area. In about the center just below the vertical middle is the Ship Cafe, built as a restaurant and hotel to look like Juan Cabrillo's Spanish galleon. Beyond it are the rides and other amusements of the Pier, extending back to the shore. Postcard # 6900.

This is a fuzzy colored version of a photograph used by the Edward Mitchell Company with the same number and cropped in the same way, using the same wording and font. This card would have been produced between 1907 (divided back) and 1920, when this original Pier burned down. On the back of the card are scrawled some pencil marks that might be 4 AM F737V (or checkmark).
Postcard # 6900
