A pictorial history of the city of angels.
From the first known photograph taken inย Los Angelesย to its most recent sweeping vistas, thisย photographic tribute to the City of Angelsย provides a fascinating journey through the cityโs cultural, political, industrial, and sociological history. It traces the cityโs development from the 1880s real estate boom, through the early days of Hollywood and the urban sprawl of the late 20th century, right up to the present day. Withย over 500 images, L.A. is shown emerging from a desert wasteland to become a vast palm-studded urban metropolis.
