Description
Photograph of an engraving depicting the founders of Los Angeles, 1781. Musicians crash cymbals and play flutes in the left foreground while behind them, altar boys hold both a crucifix staff and a tall candle, backed by a hooded monk. To the right of them, a uniformed rifleman stands. Less assuming settlers are visible flying a flag in the background, on which a woman is embroidered. Mountains and birds are pictured in the distance behind them.
