Title Exterior view of theMission San Fernando Rey de España ruins showing corridors, taken by photographer Edward Vischer, before 1875

Description Photograph of a front exterior view of theMission San Fernando Rey de España ruins showing corridors, taken by photographer Edward Vischer, before 1875. A two-story adobe building stands to the left, visible behind the remains of adobe walls. The building's walls are losing their spackle and a glassless window can be seen on the top floor. To the right, the columns that once belonged to the patio that extended from the main building are visible, partially unroofed. The tiles of both the patio and main-building roofs are terracotta and in disrepair themselves. Tall grass can be seen in the foreground.
