Map of Los Angeles - 1938
This 1938 map of Los Angeles shows the streets, boulevards, parks, schools and business centers as they were at the time, before freeways and LAX were built. The future location of LAX shows the Mines Field L.A. Municipal Airport, with its eight small hangars. A series of concentric circles indicates the distance to the intersection between 7th Street and Broadway, at 10 miles, 5 miles, 3 miles, and one mile. Other notable fact is the absence of the Marina, whose construction only began in 1953. The map also shows the Chavez Ravine neighborhoods of La Loma, Palo Verde, and Bishop, before the community was torn down in the 1950s, to later become the site of the Dodger stadium.

We dedicate extensive time to repairing faded colors, mending any damages, to ensure that every detail is faithfully represented. When you acquire one of our pieces, you're getting more than just a printed copy - you're getting a revitalized historical treasure, meticulously brought back to its authentic form.This piece is printed and assembled in our downtown Los Angeles studio using our 12 color Canon Pro 4100 large format printer on Epson Exhibition Satin Canvas, a heavyweight 23 mil semi-gloss textured canvas that is enhanced with protective elastic polymers. Decorative wood, stained and varnished is added on the top and bottom, with two eye-hooks mounted on the top piece for hanging. We also supply a jute rope twine that can be attached between the two eye-hooks to complete the vintage feel of a roll down canvas scroll.
