Mount Shasta California Boulder Bed 1920s RPPC Postcard Unposted

This 1920s real photo postcard of Mount Shasta, California documents a boulder-strewn landscape identified on the image as a former telephone wire bed fifteen feet deep.

Mount Shasta has long been a focal point of Northern California imagery, appearing in early tourist photography as both a natural landmark and a symbol of frontier geology. Real photo postcards from this region frequently emphasized dramatic terrain, forested slopes, and evidence of environmental change, blending scenic documentation with interpretive captions that framed the landscape as remarkable or instructive.

The photograph shows a man standing amid a broad field of large rounded stones, with evergreen trees and the snow-capped peak of Mount Shasta rising in the background. White caption lettering across the lower margin reads Mt Shasta and Bed of Boulders 15 ft Deep Telephone Wire 15 ft from Former Ground, providing period context and explanation. The AZO photo paper back places the card within the early twentieth-century real photo format, and the card remains unposted.
