Description
Photograph of a view of a road in Placerville city, El Dorado, California, ca.1912. Horse-drawn carriages are parked along either side of the unpaved street. In the foreground, a man is walking across from right to left, near a sign that reads "Gasolene". Further back, a second man sits on a bench which appears to be situated more or less in the center of the road. Saloon-style buildings with wooden canopies line the street to either side along with utility poles. A house is visible on the hill in the distance, along with trees. Legible signs include: "Clothing Sale", "Roundtent", and "[...] Lager [...]". Picture file card reads: "'Where gold is panned out of the streets.'"
