The entrance is framed by Spanish moss draping from the trees, a detail the caption tracings single out and one that makes this view of Ormond, Florida, stand apart from more general scenes of the town. The Detroit Publishing Company, which sold views of American towns, landmarks and scenic spots to travelers and mail-order buyers in the early twentieth century, issued this as number 3597 in its series. The record gives no date, but the company's views were widely bought as souvenirs of winter tourism, when Florida's Atlantic coast towns drew visitors seeking warm weather. The print is worth a close look for the way the moss and entryway show the subtropical character that visitors came to see.
