Description
Heading: (California - Los Angeles)
Author: Fairchild, Sherman
Title: Eighteen aerial photographs of Los Angeles, by Fairchild Aerial Surveys, Inc., Los Angeles.
Place Published: Los Angeles
Publisher:Fairchild Aerial Surveys, Inc.
Date Published: Feb. 12, 1934
Description:


Gelatin silver photographs. Fairchild rubberstamp with route/job number, date and image number (1 through 18) on the versos. 18.5x23.5 cm (7¼x9¼").



Set of aerial photographs of a primarily commercial, industrial and warehouse district of Los Angeles, with some residential buildings - not your Hollywood or Beverly Hills glamor spots, but the gritty infrastructure that kept Los Angeles afloat during the trying years of the Great Depression. The photographs were taken from a lower altitude than most aerial views, and in a contiguous pattern (with some overlap), so one can piece together the entire district, or a large portion thereof. The numbering of each photograph assists in this task. Sherman Fairchild was one of the pioneers of the commercial use of aerial photography in the United States.
