Description
Photograph of Beacon Street in San Pedro looking north, Los Angeles, ca.1910. Horse-drawn carriages ride up and down the muddy, unpaved street. To the left, the two-story Bank of San Pedro can be seen, whose clocktower reads 11:11. Utility poles are visible along the sidewalks, although some poles to the right in front of the Alexander building appear to have been edited out of the photo. A web of streetcar cables stretches between the two sides of the street. Lower than the sign on the frontmost building on the right which reads "Alexander [...]", more signs read "Los Angeles" and "Los Angeles Express". A sign in the extreme foreground to the left is partially visible and advertises real estate and loans. Cloth canopies are set up along the shopfronts lining the street.

The nearly 15,000 unique photographs of this collection contain the work of C.C. Pierce which cover the Los Angeles region city, street and architectural views, California Missions, Southwestern Native Americans, and turn-of-century Nevada, Arizona, and California. Pierce, active from 1886 to 1940, was one of the leading photographers of his day and amassed a collection of 15,000 images, including his own and those bought and copied from his contemporaries, George Wharton James and Charles Puck. The James collection contains over 2,000 images of portraits, customs, ceremonies, arts, and games of various groups of Southwestern Native Americans.
