Man standing in the letter D of the Hollywood sign, 1923

Man standing in the letter D of the Hollywood sign, 1923Unless you live in Los Angeles AND have managed to walk all the way up to the Hollywood sign (or at least as close as you can get to it nowadays) you might not quite get the scale of the sign. This photo gives you an idea, though. It shows a fully-grown man standing in the middle the “D.” This was taken as the sign was being built and we can see from the rough work that it wasn’t intended to stand forever.
