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. Title: Venice of America .... Corp Author(s): Abbot Kinney Company.
