Photograph of an aerial view of downtown Los Angeles taken from a balloon, looking west from Main Street and 3rd Street (or from First Street south to Fourth Street?), ca.1910. Prominent streets extending from the foreground into the background dissect the city into large grids. Smaller roads further divide each grid into smaller blocks. Nearby grids are more packed with buildings than the city blocks further away. Vehicles are visible in the streets below.
