A weathered dead tree stands among rocks near the coastline, with mountains in the distance. This famous tree blew down in the 1960s. 17-Mile Drive is a toll road (since 1903) on the Monterey Peninsula that runs through Pebbly Beach and Pacific Grove. The number M131 precedes the title in the lower left corner. On the divided back the stampbox reveals the brand of photographic paper used to develop this Real Photo postcard--Azo paper manufactured from 1926 until the 1940s as the first stable emulsion for this type of paper.
