Description
Photograph of a Christmas palm in front of a two-story house on Seventh Stree near Figueroa, Los Angeles, ca.1920. The trunk of the palm has ridges up to about midway where there is a small cluster of fronds growing from it. A little further up the trunk is where the main palm fronds grow. On this palm, there are a dozen feather-like fronds. To the right of the palm, is second house, two- or three-stories high. A wire-mesh fence, overgrown with small bushes and trees, runs between the two houses near the palm. The photoprint reads "Archontopheonix cunninghamiana. Australia".
