18883393San Francisco: Published by Bell & Heymans 1888. First Edition. Very good. Folio 350 x 258 mm. 86 ix 1 pp. including fascinating advertisements. Original wrappers chipped and foxed. Wrappers with two-color lithographs 44 b/w lithographs illustrating the text some extending over 2 pages all by Britton & Rey San Francisco. MAP 53 x 71 cm with some short tears at fold intersections. Recto: "Map of Sonoma County Cal'a sic. Showing Boundary Lines of County and Townships Railroads and Public Roads Cities Towns &c. &c." Published by Bell and Heymans 434 California St. San Francisco Copyrighted May 1888. Lithographer: Cal Label & MacCabe Lith Co. San Francisco. Verso: "Map of Verano Sonoma Valley California." Lithographer: H.S. Crocker & Co. San Francisco. Beautifully illustrated promotional materials for the nascent planned community of Verano Sonomy Valley created by the firm of Britton & Rey in their prime. The folio volume and the accompanying map sheet with color illustrations are rare: this is the only complete copy that has been recorded at auction.<br/><br/>Although more commercial than the Thompson & West local histories the present work has the same type of wonderful documentation with the added cache of ads that enhance the historical value. Following a history of Sonoma County and Russian River Valley are essays on industries agriculture orchards viticulture stock raising lumber minerals natural wonders business opportunities social life etc. These promotional materials were apparently aimed at investors from the East Coast and perhaps beyond; at some point our map was inscribed in French: "Californie" sic. <br/><br/>The remarkable lithographs by Britton & Rey depict scenes views panoramas portraits architecture vineyards orchards etc. some after photographs. Included with our copy is the rare folding lithograph sheet with map of Sonoma County on one side and colored illustrations and map of Verano on other side Hooker Falls orange and olive grove General Vallejo's home Sonoma Creek Verano Park. At that time Verano now known as El Verano was a planned community. The present promotional items were no doubt occasioned when a new train depot was built nearby. <br/><br/>The Bancroft copy as recorded by OskiCat does not contain the map but there is a related map greatly reduced defective and apparently printed on one side only by H.S. Crocker with the same title likewise surveyed by P.R. Davis which measures 26 x 46 cm or about half the size as ours. <br/><br/>Auction comparables: Dorothy Sloan Auction 20 2007 lot 6 this copy purchased after the sale for $1410.
