A different place and a different Don Antonio.

This Don was attached to Rancho Camulos in what is now Ventura County. The Rancho was once home of Ygnacio del Valle, an alcalde of the Pueblo de Los Angeles. This picture, and many more, are part of a photo album compiled by Charles Lummis. See entire album here: http://hdl.huntington.org/cdm/compou...id/5930/rec/16 Lummis, as most know, was a colorful character who among many different accomplishments, was a City Editor for the LA Times, a City Librarian and Womanizer (alleged). He was foremost in the creation of the Southwest Museum (1914) now part of the Autry Museum Enterprise.


All photos circa 1887 -88.

Dinner under the Arbor. Idyllic. No flies?


Charles Lummis and a few female friends. (Is he thinking Trackless Trolley or Toga party?)
