Description
A snapshot of a couple at a trolley at Selig Zoo, Lincoln Heights, Los Angeles, ca. 1920. The view shows a woman on the front steps and a man holding her hand while standing on the ground below. The electric trolley appears to be part of a set from what William Selig moved from his film studio from Edendale (Los Feliz area) to Lincoln Heights in 1917, where he was developing a zoo, but the company soon ceased operations. A post-it note inscription indicates that this and other photos in the accession were from an "abandoned movie set at Selig." The man here may be a Mr. Hummel. With fragments of album mounting corners and some soiling, the overall condition is good.
