1940 Lotta’s Fountain Palace Hotel San Francisco California

Printed in 1948, this postcard showcases the elegant interior of the Palace Hotel in San Francisco, focusing on the murals of Lotta’s Fountain by renowned artist Antonio Sotomayor. These murals portray a whimsical, dreamlike tribute to Lotta Crabtree, the beloved entertainer of the Gold Rush era, whose charm and generosity left a lasting mark on the city. The artwork captures scenes from her storied life with a touch of theatrical fantasy, fitting for a woman who captivated 19th-century audiences. The room itself looks out toward the original Lotta’s Fountain, which she gifted to San Francisco during the height of her fame—a gesture that turned into a cherished city landmark.

This postcard would look great framed, make a wonderful hostess gift, or make an excellent addition to any collection.
