Emily and George Sexsmith, Westlake Park, Los Angeles, California, ca. 1930s
A Vintage Photos Theme Park photo for the theme of hand colored.
Handwritten caption on the other side of this photo: "Emily and George Sexsmith, Echo Park (McArthur Park), Los Angeles (about 1930)."
This is a hand-colored photo of Emily (Dippel) Sexsmith (1911-2006) and George Sexsmith (1908-1991) in a canoe, circa 1930. The handwritten caption on the other side of the photo notes the setting as "Echo Park" with "McArthur Park" in parentheses, but it's likely that it's really Westlake Park, which in 1942 was renamed MacArthur Park (not "McArthur," as misspelled in the caption). The park was also the subject of Jimmy Webb's popular song, "MacArthur Park," recorded in 1968 by Richard Harris.

Beautiful hand coloring. The water is superb - as is the canoe, the skin tones, and the background details.
Great example, Alan.
Alan Mays club has replied to Deborah Lundbech clubThanks for the funny link. I find it a bit of a stretch that he really ate cake and left it in the park as a regular thing - in L.A.? - but I do get how he could be embarrassed years later by such a dopey metaphor. : D
