St. Francis, Gas Station, and City Hall-Los Angeles
1955

Silhouette of a statue against a hazy sky with the sun low on the horizon. The statue appears to be holding something aloft. In the background, there are indistinct buildings and signs, including one that reads "Atlas Tires," and a parking lot with numerous cars. The image has a grainy, high-contrast black and white quality.
