California through San Diego "invites the World"

Fantastic vintage bird's eye view map of Los Angeles, featuring the downtown area magnified by a giant magnifying glass, and, on the verso, a map of Southern California promoting the California Pacific International Exposition of 1935-36.

The map was produced with the idea that the California Pacific International Exposition in Balboa Park, San Diego, would result in overflow tourism to Los Angeles.

The unusual pictorial device of having the center of LA highlighted by a giant magnifying glass set this map apart from others of the era.

A highly unusual California view.

Rare. This being the first example we have handled and the only we can trace.

(Burlingame, San Diego) Park Addition

(Burlingame, San Diego) Park Addition

Park Addition, dated 1914, is a blueline cyanotype on treated drafting linen, chronicling a proposed neighborhood that never fully materialized. Charting an area extending from Nutmeg Street to the north, Balboa Park to the west, Kalmia Street to the south, and 30th Street to the east, the blueprint ambitiously demarcates uniform blocks. However, much of this depicted space is now consumed by Switzer Canyon, an adjunct of Balboa Park, testifying to the region's topographical challenges which later mandated significant adjustments to the planned subdivision.
