Tungkol sa ebook na ito
The ""Hollywood Sign"" explores the surprising history of this global icon, tracing its path from a 1923 real estate advertisement for ""Hollywoodland"" to a symbol of the entertainment industry. The book examines the sign's creation, near-destruction, and eventual restoration, revealing how community efforts and financial investments ensured its survival. It also analyzes the sign's cultural significance, highlighting its role as a visual representation of the American Dream and the complex interplay between commerce and cultural identity. This book uniquely moves beyond a simple history to explore the sign's deeper meanings.
Did you know that the original sign was only intended to last for a year and a half?
Or that its near collapse led to widespread public campaigns to save it? The book delves into archival photographs, city planning documents, and interviews to present a compelling narrative.
Structured in three parts, the book first introduces the sign's origins, then details its decline and reconstruction, and finally explores its modern identity within film, television, and popular culture. Ultimately, ""Hollywood Sign"" provides valuable insights into urban development, cultural heritage, and the power of visual communication.
