Description
Photograph of visitors shopping on Olvera Street, Los Angeles, ca.1940-1949. Small shops can be seen from left towards the right background lining the left side of a brick walkway. A man wearing a hat can be seen walking at left while looking at merchandise for sale. A woman wearing a dress can be seen facing left while carrying a bulky item in front of her. She is partially obscured by what appears to be some sort of concrete marker to the left of center in the foreground. A two-story building with a balcony can be seen behind the shops at left. A tree can be seen at right with its branches hanging over the shops. Other people can be seen in the background. Beyond the shops, a two-story building with arched windows can be seen.
