Stephen Arnold Rendall was an ambrotypist and photographer who migrated from England and was active in Southern California in the early 1860s and from 1866-1869. The photograph is one of a series of photographs forming a bird's eye view of Los Angeles. Visible are Franklin Street (on a diagonal, left to right); Dan Scheck's Residence (house with porch and gable to the R of Franklin St.); and Fort Street (now Broadway, on a diagonal, right to left).
