visits
the
Los
Angeles
Public
Library
to
see

photographs.

"
Historical Data
Around
1939
,
Ansel
Adams
was
commissioned
by
Fortune
magazine
to
photograph
a
series
of
images
for an
article
covering
the
aviation
history
of the
Los
Angeles
area
. For the
project
,
Adams
took
217
photographs
showing
everyday
life
,
businesses
,
street
scenes
,
aerospace
employees
, and a
variety
of
other
subjects
, but
when
the
article
, "
City
of
Angels
"
appeared
in the
March
1941
issue
,
only
a
few
of the
images
were
included
. In the
early
1960s
,
approximately
20
years
later
,
Adams
rediscovered
all
of the
photographs
among
papers
at his
home
in
Carmel
, and
sent
a
letter
of
inquiry
to the
Los
Angeles
Public
Library
,
asking
if the
institution
would be
interested
in
receiving
the
collection
as a
donation
. In his
letter
,
Adams
expressed
that, "the
weather
was
bad
over
a
rather
long
period
and
none
of the
pictures
were
very
good
" and "if they have
no
value
whatsoever
,
please
dispose
of them in the
incenerator
[sic].
" He
went
on to
write
that "
I
would
imagine
that they
represent
about
$100.00
minimum
value.
" In
response
, the
Los
Angeles
Public
Library
gladly
accepted
the
gift
of
135
contact
prints
and
217
negatives
, and the
staff
concluded
that a
fair
value
for the
collection
would be
$150.00
.
