Mock Up #41 (South East Corner of Sunset and Fuller)
1971

A vintage photograph mounted on cardboard showing a palm tree in the center with a superimposed number "3½" on it. The background reveals a street scene with buildings, signs, and a clear sky. Handwritten text at the bottom left indicates "S.E. CORNER SUNSET + FULLER 3/5/30," and there's a circled number "41" at the bottom right. The photo appears aged with discoloration around the edges.
