A photograph of the entrance to Luna Park Zoo, Los Angeles, 21 February 1928. The image is taken from a drive or street and shows the entire entrance, which consists of two arched towers of neoclassical design and one-story extensions toward the edges. At the center are open gates to the parking area and zoo and a base, upon which are statuary of elephants and a flag pole. The name of the zoo is at several places at the entrance as is the admission price. Two persons are walking toward the photographer at right. Two palm trees and other tall trees, at the right are notable, as are some hills in the distance. On the reverse is a pen inscription reading "Los Angeles, California / Feb. 21, 1928. At the lower left is the stamped number "38" and the words "VELOX" are stamped into the paper. With residue from a photo album at the top of the reverse, slight yellowing, soiling, and some stains on the bottom, the overall condition is good.
