Description
This Early 1900s Los Angeles at Night image is exactly what you need in your home or office.
Beautifully restored and enlarged digital image depicting an early 1900s nighttime street scene along Spring Street in Los Angeles.
The colors and Victorian buildings convey a beautiful kind of gloom that hints at mystery and adventure.
In fact, it almost has a kind of steampunk fantasy look to it!
The mug comes in a couple of different color variations.
In 1900, the City of Angels had a population of 102,479. Although it ranked as the 36th largest city in the United States at that time, it was also the nation's fastest-growing city. By 1910, the city had more than doubled its population, clocking it at 319,198 residents. It had also risen to become the 17th largest U.S. city.
Motion picture folk from the East began arriving in the city around 1909-1910 and by 1915, the city became the motion picture capital of the West Coast.
Exciting times! Romantic times! And, of course, violent times. A terrific gift for yourself or a friend of yours who loves Los Angeles or vintage Victorian imagery. Stare at it long enough and stories begin to flash in your mind. What were the sounds, smells, energy of that booming era? Can't you almost experience it?
