Description
Rare vintage pictorial map of Pasadena on linen, probably published in the 1920s.
The view of Pasadena shows the city when it was practically a village; the map labels local churches, a Friends Meeting House, the Temple B'nai-Israel synagogue, and seemingly all of the schools in the area.
Based on the collegiate imagery in the lower-left corner, these cloth maps were probably given to graduates of one of the local colleges (perhaps Cal Tech).
We note the following landmarks:
- Busch Gardens - built in 1906
- Mt Wilson Observatory - built 1917
- Devil's Gate Reservoir - built 1920
- Rose Bowl - built 1921
- Calif Tech (Cal Tech) - name changed in 1925
- John Marshall Jr. High - built 1925
This is map is rare - this being the only example of it that we could locate.
Condition Description
Printed n cloth.
