On front: "A Mexican street of yesterday, in a city of today." On back: "The Spanish pueblo, the city of our Lady, Queen of the Angels, was settled on this spot in 1781. Here is shown the birthplace of Los Angeles and on this street stand two of the oldest buildings in Los Angeles. The diagonal line of Luck by the fountain on this site shows the Zania madre (Mother Ditch) which brought all of the water into the Pueblo from the Los Angeles river."
