Description
Photograph of a birdseye view of the "Fun Zone" of the Los Angeles County Fair at night, ca.1953-1958. The "Fun Zone", a group of carnival rides including a Ferris wheel and a merry-go-round, runs diagonally through the image from the lower left to the upper right. The rides are illuminated for the night, as is the building behind them. Parked automobiles sit in the foreground of the image, while the lights of a city are visible in the background.
