For bid is an original circa 1907-1915 era SANTA BARBARA coastal view taken in Southern California.  Original owner wrote "Santa Barbara beach taken from top of palasades" in blue ink on the back.  Pier in the distance.  Many people milling around the beach near the beginning of the wharf.  Mountains and a few buildings in the distance...  Longer pier in the mid-distance.  
This is a terrific piece of Santa Barbara view history.  Taken long ago.  "SANTA BARBARA CALIF." written in bold ink at bottom of front.
