Description
Published in 1909, this bird's eye perspective depicts the great city of Los Angeles in a period of prosperity and expansion. Oil drilling had become the primary economic driver for the city, though the surrounding areas still thrived with farming and ranching. Edward Doheny's discovery of oil in 1892 had caused the city population to explode and, by this time, was well over one hundred thousand. The consistently fair weather and work opportunities had people flocking to Los Angeles from around the globe and created the diverse melting pot that endures today. Oil baron JP Getty called the city home, and his contributions to the arts have become permanent fixtures and iconic spaces from the Getty Museum to the Getty Villa. His philanthropic trust remained the largest art endowment in the world and was established in 1953. Griffith Park was established three years after this map and is a truly iconic fixture in the culture of Los Angeles. The first feature film to be produced in Los Angeles, The Count of Monte Cristo, was completed in 1909, laying the groundwork for what would become the cities second great industry. The Selig Polyscope Company established the first permanent film studio in this year as well. This indexed map illustrates the local economy by detailing all merchants, businesses, and civic buildings detailing just how prosperous the city had become. These bird's eye perspectives were created for residents and merchants alike to display their civic pride, and the distinctive aesthetic immediately transports the viewer back in time.

Excellent experience. The print arrived quickly (quicker than I expected); it was very well packaged (in a hard tube); wrapped in fully-sealed plastic inside; then with a thin sheet of protective paper outside the actual print, which was printed on high quality (thick and glossy) paper stock. The image itself was exactly as shown on the digital image above. A small part of me wishes it actually looked older (LOL), but overall I feel really satisfied on quality, shipping/packaging, and price.
EXCELLENT Quality and Excellent Condition for a great Value offered by SELLER. Appearance of Map, packaging and expeditious shipping by SELLER is above and beyond and greatly appreciated. 1st Map is still lost in our wonderful USPS ... however SHIPPER immediately shipped 2nd Day replacement. I will return the 1st MAP if it ever finds its way. Filed a report with USPOSTAL OIG. Thank you HISTORIC PRINTS. Respectfully. Scott.
Great communication from this seller, as an international buyer (UK) I was concerned on delivery costs but clearly explained about eBay’s international delivery. Item just arrived, was well packaged and condition exactly as advertised. Would happily do business with again and recommend to one and all.
