Biographical/Historical Note
This collection of mounted photographs comprises one portion of the Historical Society of Southern California (HSSC) Collection, which was donated to the Huntington Library in 1992. The HSSC Collection as a whole contains approximately 15,000 photographs and negatives covering the period circa 1870 to circa 1980, and almost exclusively depicts Southern California. As such, it is an important visual record of the growth and history of the region.
These mounted photographs are a gift made to the Historical Society by Herbert Leuschner. There is no additional information regarding the donor or the circumstances of the donation.
