1920616San Francisco: California State Automobile Association 1920. 17 3/4 x 12 inches. Very good condition. This is a carefully planned map printed in blue with red over printed roads on the verso. The red roads are paved and oiled roads the remaining blue roads are gravel of dirt. The majority fit in the latter category. There is a paved road running from the Bay to Willits with a portion being blue Most paved roads are around the Bay Area where the major populations are centered. Red roads have both heavy lines and light lines for the user to decipher. On the recto is a listing of service centers for the driver. There is a section for "Electric Service Stations." Overall this is a very informative map printed in an era of little information for the automobile traveler. California State Automobile Association unknown

1927233011927. Carquinez Bridge construction photo archive documenting the industrial development of the 1927 cantilever crossing at the Carquinez Strait a transportation project driven by California's rapid automobile growth and the mounting inadequacy of the Vallejo ferry connection between the Bay Area and Sacramento. By the early 1920s California vehicle registrations had risen sharply ferry traffic across the strait had become a bottleneck and the new span created the first direct highway link between San Francisco and Sacramento when it opened in May 1927. Positioned between the first major wave of California highway investment in the 1910s and the later Freeway Era the archive records bridge construction as an industrial process showing how steel members cranes temporary decking marine equipment and high-angle labor were organized into a permanent transportation crossing. With two main spans of 1100' each the Carquinez Bridge at the time of its completion was the fourth largest cantilever truss bridge in the world and the second largest in the United States<br /> <br /> Photo archive of 31 silver gelatin photographs plus 12 photographic negatives ranging from roughly 3 x 5 to 3.5 x 6 inches Carquinez Strait California circa 1927. Most of the prints focus on the bridge construction process. The 1927 Carquinez Bridge was the first major auto bridge in the San Francisco Bay Area designed to resist seismic forces with piers extending 135 feet below water and notes its role as the first direct highway link between Sacramento and San Francisco. Exterior views show the cantilever arms extending out over open water from tall steel towers with large truss sections still incomplete the suspended span not yet joined and the full geometry of the crossing legible at successive phases of erection. Several photographs are taken from elevated ground above shoreline houses and industrial buildings locating the bridge within a worked waterfront rather than an isolated engineering view. Others are made from water level where the steel rises directly from the strait and barges work boats and temporary supports register the marine logistics required to build in the channel. One close construction view looks straight down a temporary work deck lined with rails or timbers toward cranes and hoisting apparatus embedded inside the growing steel frame. Another shows a group of workers seated and standing on a riveted member before placement making the relationship between labor and material explicit without shifting the archive away from its central subject the structure under assembly. Additional prints show falsework approach grading industrial shoreline staging and spectator vantage points from which the nearly completed trusses were watched from land. Versos carry Velox paper marks oval WEBBS processing stamps dated March 14 1927 on several prints and manuscript or stamped inventory numbers. The 12 negatives are secondary material and include unrelated vernacular subjects by the same photographer among them floodwater truss bridges a rifle-range scene and a few domestic snapshots. <br /> <br /> The archive belongs to the period when California road building and bridge construction accelerated to meet automobile traffic that older ferry systems could no longer absorb. In these photographs infrastructure is not presented as a finished monument but as an active building process with the visual emphasis placed on staged steel erection temporary supports shoreline preparation marine access and workers operating within narrow elevated material-heavy conditions. Light curling minor creasing and scattered discoloration on few with verso stamps or notations; overall good condition. Archive of photographs showing a necessary piece of California transportation infrastructure being built with the labor system and material processes documented. unknown

1960472San Francisco: California State Automobile Association 1960. 28 1/2 x 25 1/2 inches. Very Good. This is a most interesting map of San Francisco The Embarcadero Freeway was opened on September 15 1959. The highway crossing the Bay bridge was still US40 and US 50. This dates the map post 1959 and per I-80 connecting into the city. The map is snap-shot in time when the automobile was dominating the quest for personal mobility.

1930234241930. California photo Album documenting 1930's roadside commerce's Oil and logging industries and desert sightseeing across Southern California and Death Valley circa 1930s. Include logging photographs made when steam power still ran the woods before the gasoline tractor and chainsaw displaced the steam donkey engine and the logging railroad. The photographs were made just as the paved highway and the auto court were turning the California desert and mountains into a tourist destination reachable by family car. John Marshall High School in Los Angeles shown new and unweathered in the album opened its doors on January 26 1931 fixing the album's date to that year or shortly after.<br /> Photo Album of 116 silver gelatin photographs mostly snapshot format ranging approx 3 x 5 to 5 x 7 inches California Sierra Nevada and Death Valley circa 1931 to 1935. The logging images show a tracked crawler tractor fitted with a tall steel arch for skidding logs a steam donkey engine venting steam beside a yarding spar rigged with cables decked logs stacked on railcars marked with painted numbers a single rail line running through uncut timber and a man in suspenders and field hat standing beside a standing tree with a felling axe and undercut wedge driven into the trunk. The Southern California group includes wooden oil derricks stepped up a steep eroded canyon wall three women in cloche hats and drop-waist dresses standing arm in arm on a pile of oil-field casing pipe a touring sedan with passengers parked among the derricks a typed caption reading "No 4. Artist's Drive. Death Valley" above eroded badland hills the neon-topped "El Don Motel" sign advertising kitchenettes and refrigeration the "Beechwood Motor Apartments" and "Aut-O-Tel" auto court a palm-lined commercial street with a Citizens Bank and parked Model A automobiles the Collegiate Gothic John Marshall High School captioned in pencil the grounds of the Hotel del Coronado covered wagons drawn up in a mountain meadow a backyard scene of an older couple outside a board cabin and harbor views with a small fishing boat numbered "A 619." Photographs are mounted with black corner tabs on black album leaves several captioned in pencil or by typed slip.<br /> Southern California in the early 1930s was the most prolific oil-producing region in the world with derricks crowding canyons and city lots from Signal Hill to the Newhall fields and the album captures ordinary visitors treating an active oil field as a sightseeing stop. The same years saw the auto court and motel emerge along the new highways and the El Don and Aut-O-Tel signs document that roadside lodging industry in its first decade. The logging photographs record steam-era timber work the crawler tractor and steam donkey caught at the moment mechanized gasoline equipment was about to replace them. Overall in very good condition with some fading to individual prints. The album places steam-era timber work and first-decade California auto travel side by side recorded firsthand during the years of the development of roadside infrastructure. unknown
