Photograph of Birdseye view of Hollywood Boulevard, showing street cars and metallic wreaths with pictures, [s.d.]. In the foreground at center, Hollywood Blvd. can be seen extending into the far background at right. Several automobiles move along the street, and a single trolley also moves along the center of the street near the foreground. Lines of cars can be seen parked along the curb near large buildings extending into the far background as well. In the foreground at right, a small group of people can be seen standing near a traffic light and small pole with a metallic wreath. Above the metallic wreath, a painting of a Christmas tree with two stars can be seen. At the center of the wreath, a picture of what appears to be a movie star is visible. Several wreaths can be seen on either side of the street extending into the far background. Legible signs include, "Robertson Company", "Cafe Boulevard", and "Myer Siegel & Co."
