Mount Shasta California Shasta Lily Composite View 1927 RPPC Postcard Posted

A real photo postcard mailed in 1927 presents a composite view of Mount Shasta alongside the Shasta lily, pairing the prominent northern California mountain with one of the region’s distinctive native wildflowers.

Mount Shasta rises prominently in the southern Cascade Range of northern California and has long been one of the most recognizable natural landmarks in the American West. Photographs of the mountain circulated widely in postcards during the early twentieth century, especially as automobile tourism and improved rail access brought increasing numbers of visitors to the region. Publishers frequently combined scenic mountain imagery with regional botanical subjects to highlight the natural environment associated with the landscape.

The postcard features a composite photographic arrangement with Mount Shasta shown snow-covered above a forested foreground, while a detailed image of the Shasta lily appears prominently at the right side of the card. The lily, native to northern California mountain environments, was often associated with the alpine meadows surrounding the peak. Handwritten captions on the image identify the subjects as Mt Shasta and Shasta lily, creating a paired visual presentation that links the iconic mountain with one of the area’s notable native plants.
