Buddhist Temple, Fair, CA, Arizona Grape Fruit, AZO RPPC, Vintage Real Photo PC Related: Gardens & Flora <174> Religion <12> Real Photo <611> USA / CA - California <184> Availability: For Sale on eBay... $25.50 Title: None. Description: Vintage real photo postcard of a Buddhist temple-like structure at a fair held in (probably) Riverside County, Southern California. The bamboo temple and a statue of the Buddha are surrounded by fruit, (probably citrus), and they appear to be on the temple's roof as well. In the background is a display for "Arizona Grape Fruit, 'Desert Sweets' - Try it - Then Buy It - M.O.D." This is one of a group of six postcards I've listed showing photos from the same fair. All of them feature fruit prominately, and most likely it's all citrus fruit. (Bamboo as a building material is also prominant.) While all the cards are untitled, names in the photos (Riverside County, Hemet, Corona, San Bernardino) place the fair to the west of Riverside County, with perhaps Corona, the "Lemon Capital of the World", being the most likely location. The AZO stamp box dates the cards to between 1918 and 1930. Era: 1920s. Producer: AZO <31/52> Producer text: AZO Status: Unused. Condition: Excellent. Attic Postcards ID: RO1625 |
