When a postcard was published with this aerial view of Bellosguardo, the Clark estate in Santa Barbara, California, Huguette Clark's attorneys consulted with her. The decision: Buy them all so the public could not get a view of the private estate. The thousands of postcards were stored in the old carriage house on the property. No one from the immediate family has visited since the early 1950s.
