Pasadena is built around one building and makes no attempt to disguise it. The dome at the center is the highest point here and the only round thing in the picture, and the bridge at the left is the only other shape given any width.
What is in the drawing
A slim tower with a pointed cap opens the left, with a small onion-domed turret beside it. A bridge follows, carrying three round arches low across the ground. Past a tall notched slab and a low arcaded row the center arrives: a large dome standing on a lantern, sitting over a wing whose front is a row of arched openings, with a low arcade continuing out from its far side. Two plain slabs rise to the right, then a wide pavilion under a pyramid roof, a slim slab, and a small gabled block closes the line.
Who buys it
Pasadena sells hard on the first of January and steadily through the rest of the year. Residents buy it, and so do people who have watched the parade every year of their lives without ever going, which is a larger group than it sounds.
Mug or canvas
Under the dome runs an arcade of evenly repeated openings, and even repetition is the pattern that closes up soonest as a print shrinks. 24 by 16 on canvas is the point where it stays open. Ink is 0.058, on the lighter side, and the width of 2.508 to 1 carries the drawing the whole way round a mug.
