Description
Photograph of the first automobile at Los Angeles' La Fiesta, decorated with roses, ca.1906. The automobile is mostly obscured by the flowers that decorate it, while an middle-age woman and a young girl in light-colored, formal dress sit in it beneath the shade of a parasol that the girl is holding. Several passing men walk by in a blur on the sidewalk behind the car. Trees and a picket fence can be seen in the background, as well as the front of a second flower-decorated car. Later, this became the site of the C. of C. building.; According to Mr. Richard Marcher, the Digital Library patron, this photograph is of Mrs. Frank A. Marcher (Clara Richardson Marcher) on the right and her daughter Ms. Bernice Marcher on the left driving a Waverly Electric, said to have been the second automobile in the city of Los Angeles.
