California Orange Groves, Panoramic View

This panoramic view was taken on the Southern Pacifie R.R., branch motor line. The train ran through grove after grove of heavily laden orange trees, which show in striking contrast to the almost snow-white road-bed. An immense mountain, well-defined, looms up in the approaching background. A typical California scene. Sharp and clear.

	RIVERSIDE Special Correspondence. RIVERSIDE, Dec. 31. [...] Two representatives of the Edison Kinetoscope Company yesterday visited one of the packing houses and secured a number of pictures of the orange packers to show in the Eastern States. Los Angeles Evening Express, Los Angeles, vendredi 31 décembre 1897, p. 3. James H. White, representing the Edison company, was in Riverside recently, and was taken to the packing-house of Riverside Heights, Nº 10, by A. S. White, and got some splendid views of the packers at work. The process by which these views are taken is little short of marvelous. In thirty seconds 1800 pictures can be taken, and Mr. White announces that the conditions were very favorable to securing some very choice "living pictures" of an important feature of orange industry in Southern California, Mr. White is taking a series of interesting scenes representing like and industries in Southern California. These views will be used in Edison's kineoscopes [sic] and animatoscopes, and will enlighten many an easterner in regard to features of life in the new Italy.
