Photograph of a panoramic view of the Los Angeles County Fair in Pomona, showing tents and parked automobiles, ca.1930. Several large fair tents sit in a triangular formation at the center of the image, in the midst of an expanse of open land. A large parking lot, full of rows of parked automobiles, fills the grounds to the right of the tents. A row of trees sits in the background, while hills are visible in the distance.
