ORANGE, CALIFORNIA = EIGHTY MINUTES FROM LOS ANGELES; THIRTY MINUTES FROM THE OCEAN; ONE HUNDRED MINUTES FROM THE MOUNTAIN RESORTS
circa 1910. An early promotional broadsheet for the northern Orange County, California city incorporated in 1888. Features photographic images of the city hall, the American Legion Hall, the plaza in the center of the Orange Business District, the high school, and the public library, which appear alongside booster slogans like "The Charm of Southern California is Here in Rich Abundance" and "Queen Valencia's Court = An Annual Pageant Celebrating the Ripening of Orange County's $30,000,000.00 Orange Crop."
Although undated, the appearance of "The Public Library" suggests a date of around 1910 as the Carnegie Library at 407 East Chapman Avenue was opened in 1908.
Broadsheet (9 3/8" x 12 1/4"), printed on the recto only. Creasing from prior folds, likely for mailing; else fresh and clean. Scarce, OCLC locates only one holding, at Yale. Item #80127
