Description

"Adolphus Busch Gardnes [sic], Pasadena, Calif." unattributed, but possibly Graham Photo Company, ca. 1910s. The image shows rolling lawns, a pond with a fountain and dense thickets of trees on the hillside in the background. Also of note are rocks lining the pond and walkways. At the top of the slope at the right is a wire fence and gate. An ink inscription with the title is on the reverse. The gardens existed from 1905 to 1938 and were a major tourist attraction until they were developed into private homesites. With some soiling, creases, and edge wear, the condition is good.
