Description
These are 6 color drawings of the first 4 buildings which housed the Farmers and Mechanics Bank of Los Angeles. Also included are drawings of the first cable car on Broadway in 1886 and the Los Angeles and San Pedro Railroad.The prints are approx. 5" x 6" including the borders.
I'm guessing these were produced perhaps in the late 40's or early 50's as covers of, or pages in, desk calendars. The reverse sides list the Officers and Directors of the Bank, all prominent business leaders of the 30's, 40's, and 50's in Los Angeles. The President, V. H. Rossetti, held that office from 1931-1956.
All but one are printed on smooth glossy paper. The picture of the railroad is on slightly rougher, darker, and matte paper.
All are in pretty good condition, just the edges are a bit roughed up, and they have been cut from their original setting.
I will ship these via regular first class mail.
