Historic Urban Plans

This lithograph of Los Angeles is remarkable for its fine color and exact detail. The artist, B.W. Pierce, solved the problem of showing what was even then a large city by combining two views depicting the townscape as seen from opposite directions. The result is both unusual and effective, and vividly illustrates the swift growth of the Southern California metropolis.
