History-Image Photo, Map & Poster Archive. In titles & descriptions. Here’s a recent newspaper article about us–with a photo. This is a large and extraordinarily detailed map of Los Angeles County Showing traffic volume on state highways, county highways and city streets, 1934. Covers entire county, including Burbank, Glendale, Huntington Park, Inglewood, Long Beach, Los Angeles, Pasadena, Pomona, Santa Monica, South Gate and Whittier. From Map: California Highway Transportation Survey, 1934. Actual map is much sharper and detailed than the low resolution scanned image used here. The map size is selected from the drop-down menu at top of listing. Please note that the sizes listed are an approximation. The map is a modern reprint. For more information about how the maps are made see our “me” page. This is an authorized reprint from the David Rumsey Collection. Is the resolution disappointing? No, is the simple answer. Because we are dealing with historical pieces from a wide range of regions, creators and time periods, there is variation in the quality. However, we always ask ourselves if we would be pleased with a particular image framed and on display before we add it to our inventory. We do not carry low-quality “snapshots, ” cheap digital scans or multi-generational prints. When we create a large-format negative at the archive the resulting digital file can easily exceed one gigabyte. The detail is so good that the actual fibers in the paper or cloth of the original map are visible in the print we make. Are the maps in the public domain? Many of the images are available for use as public domain images. Some of the images can be licensed for limited commercial use and some are restricted for all commercial activities. Will the watermark/writing appear on the map I receive? The writing on the internet image of the photograph is to discourage copying and will not appear on your photograph. Maps are rolled and placed in a plastic sleeve and then into a rigid tube that is of a larger diameter than the sleeve. This ensures that an impact to the tube will not be transferred to the image. Is this available in a larger/smaller size. Please chose one one of the sizes above. If want a size larger than 44, please send us a message.
