About this piece

Original black-and-white silver gelatin real photo, continuous-tone print (no halftone dot pattern), showing an elevated view of residential homes built into the hills of Los Angeles, California. The image captures a hillside neighborhood of Mediterranean/Spanish-style houses with tile roofs, terraced lots, retaining walls, exterior staircases, and mature landscaping climbing a brush-covered slope — a good study of early hillside residential development in the LA hills.

Size: approximately 4.7 x 3.4 inches.

Dating evidence: paper is stamped VELOX on the verso; per period photo-paper stamp-box references, VELOX stock was used roughly 1907–1929, which is consistent with the Mediterranean Revival architecture visible in the scene.

Condition: VG — no major creases, tears, or writing noted; please review photos closely as part of the listing.
