A color-tinted view shows the Santa Barbara Mission with its twin bell towers and domed roofs. The building sits behind trees and a low fence, with a road curving across the foreground. The scene is framed by leafy branches at the top and has a calm, sunlit look. The card is dated 1877 on the front, with the mission identified as founded 1786.
