Description

"PICTURESQUE LOS ANGELES COUNTY," 1887. Contains 65 fell page photos of local sites in and around Los Angeles. One could see the vast country side and open skyline that would have been visible during the late 1800s while at the same time see the expansion of a great city. The author credits the book to be a guide to "familiarize the tourist and resident with localities as will excite and interest them." The book is in poor condition due to time as the binding is week, a fading cover, and loose pages however the photos are still clear.
