STEREOSCOPIC PHOTOGRAPH, "NO. 79 THE ORANGE GROVES OF LOS ANGELES," by A. C. Varela, Los Angeles, ca. 1878. The view shows a tree in the foreground and an irrigation ditch filled with water just behind it. In the background are furrowed fields and very young trees. Further back are what may be more orange trees and the tops of two buildings. The caption is at the bottom of the right image and Varela's name and location is at the right edge. With stains, grime, creases, and small paper losses on the mount and edges, while the image is generally very clear, the overall condition is good.
