Note:
Dedicated to his friend Charles F. Lummis, noted Los Angeles industrialist, Mora's map of Los Angeles is one of his most "painterly" cartes, with strong colors and shapes spread throughout the map. The map shows early Los Angeles, with the first movie studios and road network. Two versions of the map were printed, one with a title (this copy) and another without the title (see our 8541.000) For more information on Jo Mora's life and works, see http://www.jomoratr…
