A photograph of a beach scene, believed to be Santa Monica, ca. 1890s. The view shows a long stretch of largely deserted beach except for a few small items on the sand at the left. To the right and in the foreground are worn cliffs, likely the palisades, with streetcar tracks at their base. In the distance the Santa Monica Mountains and the Malibu area are noted. There is some problem with exposure or fading, as well as some light soiling and edge rubbing, so the condition is fair.
