Lawrence Schiller Canter’s Restaurant, Bakery and Delicatessen Iconic Los Angeles Landmark Photography | Limited Edition

This evocative black-and-white photograph by legendary photographer Lawrence Schiller captures Canter’s Restaurant, Bakery and Delicatessen illuminated at night on Fairfax Avenue—one of Los Angeles’ most enduring cultural landmarks. With its glowing neon signage, classic storefront, and vintage automobiles parked along the curb, the image preserves the unmistakable character of mid-century Los Angeles nightlife.

Photographed during an era when Canter’s served as a crossroads for artists, musicians, writers, and late-night diners, the image documents the restaurant as more than a place to eat—it was a social hub woven into the city’s creative fabric. The adjacent Kibbitz Room, long associated with Hollywood conversation and counterculture, adds further historical significance to the scene.

Collectors are drawn to photographs that capture iconic places with authenticity and atmosphere, and this image stands as a definitive example of Los Angeles fine art photography. Schiller’s composition balances architectural presence with street-level intimacy, transforming a familiar landmark into a timeless visual narrative.
