EDITORS COMMENTS
This vintage postcard print captures the enchanting sight of flying fish gliding gracefully above the shimmering waters surrounding Catalina Island, California. Dating back to approximately 1915, this image showcases the natural beauty and unique wildlife found along the North American Pacific Coast. The Flying Fish, known for its extraordinary ability to soar through the air using its wing-like pectoral fins, is a true marvel of nature. This bony fish species belongs to the Belonoidei family and can be commonly spotted in the Channel Islands region off California's coast. Printed by Curt Teich Company using offset lithography techniques, this postcard serves as a charming memento from an era when handwritten messages were sent across long distances. The Catalina Novelty Company produced these transfer prints that became popular souvenirs among visitors exploring Santa Catalina Island. Now housed in Lake County Museum's collection, this photolithograph offers a glimpse into early 20th-century America and reminds us of our fascination with animals and nature. It serves as a testament to both technological advancements in printing methods and our enduring connection with wildlife. As we admire this remarkable piece of history, let it transport us back in time to an era when sending postcards was not only a means of communication but also an opportunity to share glimpses of awe-inspiring creatures like these flying fish with loved ones far away.
