2012.688.1.1Description
A large-format cabinet card photograph of the Riedeman, Meyer and Company funeral home, Vincent, Los Angeles, ca. 1902. Located at 1430 S. Main St., the structure was a single-story frame building with Greek Revival columns and entablature on the porch. Signs are at the top and side with the phone number at the left corner. The structure sts in front of a two-story house, mainly hidden from view, and a side wall of the adjoining building is at the right. On the reverse is a label for the photographer with his photo, an image of a camera and his address. The firm opened the business about 1902 and the structure looks new. Later, one of the Riedermans took over the firm and remained in the business for several decades. With significant staining at the center of the image, soiling, fading, as well as stains, abrasions to the matte, the overall condition is fair.Lexicon
