Hello everyone:

I have someone researcher who is looking for a Venice, CA map. They
describe it as:

-----------------------------------------------------

The map  reads in top right corner:
Venice of America
Nearest Beach point to Los Angeles
On the shores of the Pacific Ocean
Venice of America
Information Bureau
216 West Fourth Street
Hotel Angelus
Los Angeles  Cal.
-------------------------------------------------------

I identified a google earth overlay that seems to have this map on it.
Anyone know the source? I have attached a link to this image.

Here is an OCLC record for a map which I think may be it. (Unfortunately
the record has no holdings). Does anyone know if they have a copy of it?
They would like to view original, not a reprint or book reproduction.
