Scope and Content of Collection
The "Views of Southern California" collection consists of a photoengraving, periodical illustrations, maps, and mechanical
reproductions of artwork depicting Southern California in the nineteenth and early twentieth centuries. Most of the materials
concern Los Angeles and its surrounding area, although there are depictions of Santa Barbara, for example. The majority of
the illustrations are separations from other publications, eg, the "Sketch of the Battle of Los Angeles (1847)" comes from
William Emory Hemsley's, Notes of a Military Reconnaissance (Washington and New York, 1848). Of special value is the map of
1915 Los Angeles with its depiction of the city's connections to suburbs. It is found in folder 14.
