The text on the back of the postcard states, "'The Fountain of Youth' at St. Augustine, Florida is the mecca of visitors from all parts of the world. According to tradition this bubbling fountain supposedly marks the exact spot where Ponce de Leon, the Spanish explorer, in search of this fabled "Fountain of Youth" first landed in the New World, April 2, 1513 and planted the cross (shown in the picture) taking possession in the name of Spain. This cross is inlaid on the ground consisting of 15 stones running east and west and 13 stones running north and south commemorating the Discovery Year 1513." Postcard numbers: 60867 and 2.
