Image of people in the picnic area next to the bandstand at the Looff Pleasure Pier in Santa Monica, California. The Blue Streak Racer roller coaster, Aeroscope ride, and Looff Hippodrome (with "Welcome" and "Picnic Tables End of Pier" signs) are in the background and an electric tram can be seen at left. The picnic area has sign "Coffee Coupons Good Here." This is a copy negative (a photograph of another photograph). Title based on note from donor Ernest Marquez written on the envelope in which the negative was received; date devised by cataloger based on year the Looff Pier was completed and the style of clothing in the image. The Venice Electric Tram operated approximately 1910-1929, along the concrete walkway between Venice and Santa Monica. (erha.org)
