Posted on May 7, 2011 by lmharnisch

 
 

  Street Scene, EBay    

[Update: What’s wrong with this postcard?  Notice City Hall way down the block? Please congratulate Cat Murray for recognizing this as Broadway, not Spring Street. ]

This postcard of downtown Los Angeles has been listed on EBay…. Does anyone notice anything unusual about it? Bidding starts at $12.69.

    1. No Parking Meters
    2. Street Lights are electric powered and not gas powered.
    3. The Pacific Electric Cars do not have a bright red color.
    4. Where are the poles or supports that are supporting the power cables, providing the power to the cars?
    5. No traffic controls- Traffic lights, signs or police officers.

    Must be hand tinted. Quaint and delightful. Wonder if anyone printed a Stereopticon version? Would have made a great perspective shot in 3-D.
