Lassen California Mount Lassen Eruption 1910s RPPC Postcard Unposted

This 1910s real photo postcard documents the eruption of Mount Lassen in Northern California, capturing a towering ash plume rising dramatically above the volcanic peak.

Between 1914 and 1917, Lassen Peak experienced a notable series of eruptions that drew national attention and contributed to the region’s geological recognition. The photograph presents the mountain in full profile, with a dense column of ash and steam billowing skyward while a dark tree line anchors the foreground. The contrast between the bright volcanic plume and the silhouetted forest creates a striking composition that emphasizes both scale and natural force.

Printed as a real photo postcard on Cyko paper consistent with the period, the image serves as a primary-source visual record of one of California’s most significant twentieth-century volcanic events.
