<p>[QUOTE="Dawnno, post: 584468, member: 10171"]Ok, to make amends for my dufus mistake of not reading your post first, here's some new info that might help instead. I put 4 images of the missions side by side, yours upper right.</p><p>[ATTACH=full]175337[/ATTACH]</p><p>the bottom two are postcards. Each dated. The postcards often used earlier images, or images by hired photographers, so the date of the card publication is the "latest" the image could possibly be, but usually, b/c it's a postcard, the point is to show the place 'as is.' See the steeple, and state of disrepair in the postcards? Your painting appears without steeple, a la Deakins. but Deakins is missing the whole 'side wing.' So was the wing and steeple added after 1899? the Ornam postcard has the same wing as the 1914 card... but looks like some columns sprung up, with no roof (mid construction?). So that would mean the Orman is the oldest, the Eno card next, then yours, then Deakins. That's pretty old, ca 188os? Might help find an California artist with either KG or GK intials. Couldn't find one btw.</p><p><br /></p><p>You get the idea.[/QUOTE]</p><p><br /></p>
