About This Item
Fairchild Aerial Surveys, Los Angeles, 1950; Large circa 1950 Fairchild Surveys aerial photo of Palm Springs, California, from a time when it was a much cherished rural outpost, and long before today’s ghastly urban sprawl. Of special interest is the inclusion of both of Palm Springs’ historic airports, each clearly visible in the photo: the original Palm Springs Air Port (Stevens Airfield), built in the early twenties, and the subsequent airfield, constructed approximately 1 mile to the east, which began construction in 1939 as the Palm Springs Army Airfield and gradually evolved into the present day Palm Springs Airport. Image size 20" long by 10" high, covering a land area of approximately 9 miles by 5 miles. Fairchild imprint and North indicator at upper right corner. From the office of Culver Nichols, legendary Palm Springs realtor who was instrumental in the movement to incorporate the city in 1936, and a significant figure in the Palm Springs area real estate boom. Archivally hinged and matted with 100% rag acid-free museum board, ready for framing. Outside matte dimensions 24" x 14". Excellent condition, no chips or tears. Scarce.
