View across Lincoln Park in downtown Long Beach, where a broad lawn shaded by palms and leafy trees sits beside a curving drive lined with parked automobiles. Behind the greenery, the downtown business district rises, with a tall white tower block at the right. The park was one of downtown Long Beach's early public parks, a shaded gathering place in a growing Southern California port and resort city. The automobiles and skyline suggest the late 1930s or 1940s.
