Rare Sacramento Birds-Eye View
Rare aerial view of Sacramento, published in Sacramento, with a detailed map of the city on the verso.
The view shows Sacramento from the west, looking toward the Sierra Nevada Mountains, with downtown Sacramento and the Sacramento River waterfront in the foreground, highlighting downtown businesses and other points of interest, with the names of dozens of business listed in the "Classified Business Directory" and shown on the map.
A fascinating stylized view, with several bi-planes soaring above the city.
On the verso is a street map of Sacramento. Illustrations include biplane and train transporting goods.
The cover title is "Map and Aero View of the City of Sacramento The Heart of California".
