Overall dimensions 9 11/16" x 6 7/8"; photograph dimensions 8 1/4" x 4 11/16". See scans. Very Good; some modest soiling primarily to the mounting cardboard which also shows three small abrasions; some fading to the text. The multi-talented Charles Wallace Jacob Johnson 1833-1903 - certainly an early True California Man - was a successful photographer miner dance instructor and musician; he achieved some success in all these endeavors but is probably best known for his photography enterprises which he undertook in the late 1860's with William N. Tuttle - another prominent 19th-century California photographer known for documenting the state's growth and natural beauty through stereoscopic views; and later a T. Al Sullivan which may be a reference to Timothy H. O'Sullivan. Neither . He settled in Monterey - where this shot would be taken - in 1881. Also - on the back is the signature "E. B. Kimball" - light but enhanced by me in the second image of it here; this is likely to have been so placed by Eugene B. Kimball a significant figure in California's mining history during the late 19th and early 20th centuries = though I have no direct proof of that nor sufficient exmplars of the notable Mr. Kimball's hand to retain an FHE for authentication. All in all a historic and.well spooky-beautiful early California photo art from and associated with noted Californians of the day. The three notables in addition to Johnson here are the report at purchase here from the PBA source auction at which I acquired this piece. Please see images. Kinds does take ya back to the. lover's lane kinda thing does it not Ships in stout protection of course. LB&C <br/> <br/> C.W.J. Johnson, Photo paperback
