A drawing of the plaza at Olvera street in Los Angeles. There are two women in "Mexican" dress sitting at a fountain. Both wear straw sombreros, white blouses, and dark skirts. One has a red rebozo (shawl) around her neck. Behind them are the outdoor market in the plaza, and behind this, rising above is the top of City Hall, probably the tallest building in Los Angeles at that time.
