The Hollywood Sign Turns 100

File photo dated December 20, 2000 shows the Hollywood sign in Los Angeles, CA, USA. The giant letters are as famous as the Los Angeles streets they tower above, and through its 100-year history, it has become one of the world’s most recognised landmarks. Sat on top of Mount Lee in the Santa Monica mountains, the current sign is not the original, which, made from wood and sheet metal, fell afoul of the elements a few times over before its current version, which was made in 1978, and most recently repainted in 2005. The sign was first illuminated on December 8, 1923, and originally said “Hollywoodland” to advertise an upscale housing developing in the city. Spanning about 137 metres and almost 15 metres tall, each letter had thousands of individual light bulbs thus making the sign visible day and night. Photo by Hahn-Campion/ABACAPRESS.COM

Gongen Shrine,Hakone

There are wooden scaffolds around the Hakone Gongen, but no record of restoration during the Meiji era remains at the Shrine, so the picture may have been taken when the shrine was repainted. The Ministry of the Interior provided 300 yen in 1884 to preserve the ancient shrine, so the photo may have been taken at that time.==Date:unknown, Place:Hakone, Photo:Kusakabe Kinbei, (Credit:Nagasaki University Library/Kyodo News Images) [Cabinet Number3‐40‐0]
