Description
A snapshot of two men on a trolley at Selig Zoo, Lincoln Heights, Los Angeles, ca. 1920. The view shows the same man from .3 and .4 of the accession and the other man at the open front of the car, which sits among some structures and other set elements. 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.
