Subdivisions One and Two of the Riverside Orange Heights Tract Adjoining Corona California

19101275Los Angeles 1910. Good plus. Plat map approximately 14 x inches. Folded a couple of short separations and minor losses along or near folds. A few nicks at edges. Light even tanning. Printed on thin paper. Ephemeral real estate map and advertisement for the Riverside Orange Heights Tract located north of Corona in Southern California and owned by the Citrus Belt Land Company. "The land west of the future Norco Hills consisting of 5500 of the former Little La Sierra Rancho was purchased by a company of Los Angeles men led by James W. Long and by April 1909 that same property was on the market in the form of five- ten- and twenty-acre parcels under the 'Riverside Orange Heights.' In 1910 the Riverside Orange Heights Company was again 'sold' to the Citrus Best Land Company with Long and many of the same stakeholders simply moving from the old corporation to the new. The Citrus Belt Land Company undertook an aggressive sales campaign to sell residential ranch parcels strictly as a suburb of Corona with no effort to build schools commercial businesses or manufacturing centers. Newspaper ads appearing in the local papers the Los Angeles Times and as far away as San Diego touted the plentiful and inexpensive water excellent soil and citrus growing opportunities. It was claimed that the land was impervious to flooding and frost and provided a natural shield from the Santa Ana winds -- statements that many future residents would find to be devastatingly untrue" - Bash. The platted area depicted in this map represents today the southern portion of Norco bisected by Interstate 15. A good cartographic and promotional document of real estate development in the country surrounding Los Angeles during the early 20th century. We locate only one copy at UC San Diego.

California Progressive Era Street Building and Municipal Labor in Whittier identified Photo Archive with captions 1917

1917232461917. Whittier public development and labor photo archive documenting street paving culvert construction and bridge work by municipal laborers in during the Progressive Era of workers' rights in 1917 Southern California. This group records work on South Painter Lemon Street and North Washington as crews of men grade roadbeds pour or smooth paving surfaces assemble timber forms and pose beside tools and freshly completed improvements. This collection identifies Whittier's early twentieth century transition from Quaker colony and citrus town to incorporated Los Angeles County municipality while also situating these laborers within a moment shaped by expanding workplace regulation compensation law and public debate over hours safety and the treatment of wage workers. Photo archive of 16 Silver gelatin photographs each 3.75" x 5" Whittier California 1917. The archive includes twelve distinct photos and 4 duplicates. Several versos carry manuscript identifications including "Paving So. Painter between Philadelphia & Gregg Whittier 1917" "100 block So. Painter 1917" "Construction of Lemon St. Whittier 1917" and views of a bridge and culvert work on North Washington. The photographs show crews of male laborers in work shirts overalls brimmed hats and suspenders standing with shovels tools and lumber; one view captures road surfacing in progress with a paving machine or road roller sending up smoke while others show men pulling a long screed across wet pavement excavating and grading a street bed and working beneath a bridge under construction. Two portraits isolate workers and foremen in the roadway and another verso identifies Whittier city engineer at Lemon Street construction as "Paul Todd." The original photo finishing sleeve is present. By 1917 California's Progressive Era reforms had already brought workers' compensation and state oversight of industrial safety but street crews like those shown here still worked in physically demanding conditions with shovels rollers timber bracing and open roadbeds making municipal improvement an intensely manual system even where machinery had entered the jobsite. Whittier founded in the late nineteenth century by Quaker settlers and long tied to citrus cultivation and regional rail links was expanding its civic fabric in precisely these years. Light corner wear and mild curling to a few prints; manuscript captions clear. Overall very good condition. These photographs tie urban growth to named blocks local labor and the building process of a Southern California city. unknown

California Antiwar ProtestsBiblio.com

California Antiwar and Nuclear Protest Large Press Photographs 1960

1960234401960. California protest press photo archive documenting antiwar anti nuclear and student civil disobedience demonstrations during the height of Cold War anxiety and the emerging student protest culture of the 1960s. The group captures demonstrators participating in nuclear disarmament activism mass public protest and sit in actions connected to broader fears surrounding atomic weapons and militarization in the years following the Korean War and during escalating East West tensions. These photos record early postwar protest movements before the larger anti Vietnam demonstrations that would dominate the later 1960s. Archive of 4 black and white press photographs each approximately 8" x 10" California May and October 1960. One image records demonstrators carrying signs reading "End the Arms Race" and "Ban the Bomb" during a large anti nuclear gathering. Another shows crowds assembled outside a civic building with placards advocating peace and nuclear disarmament. A third photograph captures police physically removing a female sit in demonstrator from a building during a University of California Berkeley protest with the typed caption identifying her as "Gili Studeburg" age 18 dragged from Sproul Hall after refusing to leave during a sit in occupation. The reverse sides retain agency credit stamps typed caption sheets editorial markings and cropping instructions in grease pencil and colored pencil including notations reading "Free Speech Movement" and publication notes. The archive falls within the transitional moment between 1950s nuclear anxiety and the explosion of student protest movements that reshaped American political culture during the 1960s. Public demonstrations against atomic weapons accelerated after the hydrogen bomb tests of the 1950s while campus sit ins and direct action tactics became increasingly central to student activism in California. The Sproul Hall arrest scene is especially notable anticipating the Berkeley Free Speech Movement and later antiwar occupations that would make university campuses focal points of political confrontation throughout the decade. Light handling wear editorial markings minor corner wear and scattered toning to versos; captions and stamps remain clear and legible. Overall in good condition. unknown

Postwar Japanese American Wedding Portraits Documenting Community Reconstruction and Ethnic Studio Photography in California

1952218751952. Archive of identified Japanese American wedding photographs documenting postwar Nikkei community life and the rebuilding of Japanese American social and commercial institutions in Northern California during the early 1950s. The material captures formal wedding celebrations and social relationships within Japanese American communities during the years following World War II incarceration and resettlement. The photographs provide visual evidence of the reestablishment of Japanese American-owned businesses including ethnic-specific photography studios that served as important cultural and social institutions after wartime internment disrupted community life throughout California and the West Coast. Particularly significant are the inscriptions and studio attributions which situate the images within networks of kinship friendship and Japanese American entrepreneurship during the postwar reconstruction era. Collection consists of three silver gelatin wedding photographs dating circa early 1950s. Photo cards measure between approximately 12 x 11 inches and 9 x 14 inches with mounted photographs measuring approximately 9 x 7 inches. Two photographs depict the same Japanese American couple identified through inscriptions as "Mr. & Mrs. Ben Adachi and Ronnie." One image is a formal studio wedding portrait while another portrays a larger wedding party composed entirely of Japanese American participants and inscribed "Love Mits & Jayme - 12/6/52." Both photographs bear the imprint of Toyo Studio of Sacramento a Japanese American-operated photography business serving Northern California's Nikkei communities during the postwar period. The third photograph depicts another Japanese American couple identified as "George Ets Okasaki" posed alongside their wedding party before a curtain backdrop in a staged studio setting. The matte bears the handwritten inscription "To Ben and Rosie - Love George Ets" and is attributed to Kuroko Studio likely another Japanese American-operated studio in Northern California. Across all three images the couples and attendants are dressed in formal Western wedding attire including satin gowns floral bouquets veils tuxedos dark suits and boutonnières. The repeated dedications to Ben and Rose suggest close social or familial relationships linking the couples represented throughout the archive. The photographs document a significant period in Japanese American history marked by postwar community rebuilding after the forced incarceration of Japanese Americans during World War II. During the late 1940s and 1950s Japanese American owned businesses such as photography studios played an important role in restoring civic social and cultural life within resettled Nikkei communities throughout California. These images preserve not only wedding rituals and personal relationships but also evidence of cultural continuity economic recovery and public reaffirmation of Japanese American identity in the years following wartime displacement and exclusion. Particularly notable is the role of Toyo Studio and Kuroko Studio as community-centered institutions producing formal portraits that documented family milestones and social belonging during a period of rebuilding and reintegration. Minor handling wear and light surface wear consistent with age; photographs remain clean and well-preserved overall in very good condition. A cohesive and historically significant group of postwar Japanese American wedding portraits from Northern California's Nikkei community. unknown
