Dating to the early 1940s, this vibrant linen-era postcard showcases the legendary Spring and Cross at the Fountain of Youth Archaeological Park. Known as "The Oldest City in the United States," St. Augustine is home to this historic site where Ponce de Leon supposedly sought the fabled spring in 1513. The image captures the serene, stone-lined spring and the coquina stone cross laid in the ground, surrounded by lush tropical greenery.
