Don't know when this was taken. The book it is in was from 1925. La Brea means The Tar in Spanish. When I was 15 or 16 I had a summer job in L.A. working with the Street Maintenace Dept. One day we had to go to a sewer manhole and suck out the tar seeping into the street on Wilshire Blvd. You could see tar seeping on the sidewalks near buildings that were near the Tar Pits. I got about $750 for the summer job. I used it to buy a Beseler MCRX enlarger...then was broke again. If you get a moiré pattern you can download it or go here and download. I never descreen halftone scans. All descreening does it make the image fuzzy and reduce the size of the file. If you ever want to descreen, you can do it in Lightroom by just reducing the sharpness. You can also try enlarging the image up and down with the mouse scroll wheel to find the sweet spot to view halftones. La Brea Tar Pits L. A. D. D. Teoli Jr. A. C. : D. D. Teoli Jr. A.
