The arrival of the Southern Pacific railroad connecting Los Angeles to the east set off a wave of land speculation and development. The subdivider of Brooklyn Heights, shown in the foreground, commissioned Eli S. Glover to draw the expanding city as seen from the east.

This lithograph of Los Angeles is remarkable for its fine color and exact detail. Its artist, B.W. Pierce, solved the problem of showing what was then such 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.
