Upper photo: view of a wide dirt road on the face of a cliff in Santa Monica's Palisades Park, 1910-1920. The road is at center and leads from the top of the cliffs at left down to the beach at right. It is lined with a wooden fence and several large plants. A tall rock formation can be seen towards the bottom of the road at right. The beach is visible in the distance at center and right. Several tall mountains form a range in the background. Middle photo: view of the Santa Monica beach looking north from the Palisades Park, ca.1905. The beach is at left and is a long, wide, sandy expanse. In the foreground is a row of short plants with long, pointed leaves. The Palisades walk makes its way up the cliffs at right, and there are large mountains visible across the water at center. Bird's eye view towards the Santa Monica beach house of Marion Davies, circa 1930-1940. Access to this collection is generously supported by Arcadia funds.
