About This Item
N.p.: N.p.. A large photograph album with hundreds of snapshots. This appears to have been assembled by an Austrian immigrant named Liesel Ficht. Her final home was in the Hollywood Hills. Liesel and her husband appear to have been the host (willing or not we do not know) to many of their Austrian family and friends as they went almost everywhere. Irvine Park; Hndenberg Park; Joshua Tree viewing; Knotts Berry Farm in 1850; Disneyland in 1956; Doheny Beach (now Playa del Rey): Santa Barbara; Bullfights in Tijuana; Agua Caliente Race Track; Las Vegas in 1954 with the Desert Inn and The "21 Club"; Solvang; Rosa Rita Beach; Laguna Beach; San Francisco; Many of Burlingame, CA (a branch of the family?); and many of their trips back to Austria and Germany. Almost all captioned but unfortunately almost all of people. They appeared to enjoy drinking and partying. The quality of the photographs vary widely but still an interesting album of a immigrant family living in Southern California in the 1950s.
