City of Los Angeles, California – Harper’s Weekly 1890 Hand-Colored Wood Engraving

A finely detailed hand-colored wood engraving of Los Angeles, published in Harper’s Weekly in 1890 and drawn by noted illustrator Charles Graham, presenting a lively multi-view panorama of the city during its early period of expansion.

This composition highlights eleven identified locations across Los Angeles, including:

• Lawn on Figueroa Street
• The Crocker Mansion
• A Typical House
• Senorita in Roses
• The Plaza and the Mission Church
• Palms on San Pedro Street
• View on Spring Street
• Avenue of Palms, Longstreet Place
• Looking toward Hill Street
• City Hall and Library
• View of the City, Looking Southeast

Together, these scenes create a rare visual record of late-19th-century Los Angeles architecture, streetscapes, gardens, and civic landmarks, capturing the atmosphere of a rapidly growing Western city just before the turn of the century.
