Description

Three black and white photographs of the original El Camino Real, which ran along the Los Gatos Creek. The bank with foliage, and a dirt path, is in the foreground, while the creek is in the background to the left. The photographs are most likely enlargements, and there is a white border around the entire image for all three. One photo is matte, one is glossy, and one is high gloss.
