Description
"17. Los Angeles Mission, Los Angeles." Henry T. Payne, stereoscopic photograph, circa 1872. The view is from the area in or near the Pico House hotel on the east side of Main Street looking northwest toward the Plaza Church, of which the front entrance, with a projecting fenced area, and the adjacent tower topped by a gazebo are of note. At left is a high wall bordered by trees behind which was the original cemetery. In the distance at the far right, however, at the base of Elysian Hills is the fenced Calvary Cemetery, which replaced the Plaza Church burying ground in 1844. At the far left is another fenced area at the base of the hills which is the Jewish Cemetery, established about 1854. To the right behind the church are some one-story adobe structures in the Sonoratown area. The caption is on a paper label pasted down at the right, while Payne's name and location and the phrase "SOUTHERN CALIFORNIA" are on the margins. it is possible Payne republished earlier images of William M. Godfrey because of the similarity to images of the latter, such as .1 of this accession. With some soiling, edge rubbing and a few light stains, the overall condition is good.
