Description
Photograph of two panoramic drawings depicting views from the tower of the Baker Block, Los Angeles, ca.1889. The top panorama looks southwest over a cityscape of Victorian three-story houses. Picture File Card reads: "Showing Court House under construction". Pedestrians and horse-drawn carriages make their way down the street at the extreme left. The lower panorama shows a four-lane making its way down the center of the image to the mountains in the background. It is flanked to either side by Victorian-style tenement buildings. The road forks off into a smaller road to the near the center of the frame. Streetcars and horse-drawn carriages navigate it. The illustration is most likely by Ward Brothers of Columbus, Ohio.
