190575148New York: T. H. McCallister Company ca. 1905. This is a lovely set of glass slides; 45 in total and including 10 hand-colored. The subject of almost all of them are horticultural and the local is from La Jolla to Redlands to Pasadena. These are most definitely not the record of a family . Avenues of Eucalyptus; vacation. There are no people shown but great care is shown in identifying the plants and their locations. More than likely these were put together for a lecture on the Botany of Southern California. Almost all have manuscript captions. But the deciding factor is the fact that two of the magic lantern slides have captions within the negative a strong argument for a public lecture.Common titles are; An avenue of Eucalyptus; Banana Tree is Pasadena; 10000 acre orange grove; Olive trees Old Mission Inn; Ophir Roses Pasadena; Geraniums; Arroyo Seco; Tomato plants appearing about 10 ft tall; Calla Lily Field color; Vineyard color; Ostriches color; Hydrangeas with a bearded supervisor. 1905 is a bit past the big booster time so these were likely for educational purposes. Edifying the public on the grandeur of California T. H. McCallister Company unknown

188872410Sacramento: Department of State 1888. Broadside. Embossed gold paper Great Seal affixed at center printed ribbon woven through. 11 3/4 x 18 inches. Brief history and description of the origin of the Great Seal of California designed by Maj. R.S. Garnett. The ribbon has printed: "Compliments of L.H. Brown Secretary of State." Brown served as Secretary of state from 1895 to 1899. Old remnants of tape at corner and some general toning but a very good copy.This document gives both a history of the Great Seal of California and an example of the Seal itself. As near as can be determined broadsides concerning the Great Seal were issued when there was a change in the Seal. This does not appear to be the case here as the text is merely a history of the designing of the Seal. There are only three copies located by OCLC Fresno County Bancroft and the Boston Athenaeum.The need for a Great Seal was discussed at the Constitutional Convention for the new state meeting in Monterey in 1849. In town was United States Army Major Robert Selden Garnett who was skilled at drawing and who prepared a sketch. Members of the Convention liked it but Garnett didn’t want to get the credit because of hostility between the military and civilian leaders of the state. A clerk of the convention Caleb Lyon presented the design to the members as his own work the Garnett’s permission. Various amendments were voted on but a design was finally adopted. A description was “Around the bend of the ring are represented thirty-one stars being the number of States of which the Union will consist after the admission of California…The foreground figure represents the Goddess Minerva having sprung full grown from the brain of Jupiter.†That symbolized California becoming a state without having been a territory. The bay and ships may have been Sacramento or San Francisco. The grizzly bear eating grapes the miner getting gold the Sierra all characteristics of the state. The Greek motto “Eureka†means “I have found it.†Delegate Vallejo wanted the bear removed or shown lassoed by a vaquero. He was voted down. There were arguments later about who held the original die and press and the legislature had more made of slightly different size. The original designer of the Great Seal Major Robert Garnett was a West Point graduate had distinguished himself in battle. When the Civil War broke out he joined the Confederates was advanced to brigadier-general and was killed in the battle of Carrick’s Ford by Union General McClellan’s forces.

1898252146San Francisco 1898. Original brass skeleton-style key 13â„4 inches in length attached by a small chain to a 4 x 13â„4 inch brass tag. Expected wear rubbing and discoloration. Very good. In a half morocco and cloth folding case spine gilt. Apparently an original brass key for box 151 of the Nevada National Bank of San Francisco. The bank was founded in January 1898 and this key would seem to be contemporaneous with its opening. A nice piece of San Francisco and Wells Fargo financial relic. unknown
191075671Ontario: N.p. 1910-1920. Original oblong 8 x 6 inches brown leather album bearing 188 original photographs. Most are snap shot size but some are large. Some fading to a few but overall a nice album with no dropped pictures and in good condition.Seems to be an album of a tight-knit group of friends in eastern Los Angeles primarily Ontario. There are 10 small head shots on the second page with Blanche Bradburn being the wildest and on the page following it shows what appears to be the same women with a title of "Mrs. Warmer's Sunday School Classes." They all appear too old to be taking Sunday School classes so likely they were teachers. Early photograph albums concerning Los Angeles are not so scarce but albums where the main people live in Ontario right at the foot of Mt. Baldy are few and far between. This is born out by the photos on the next two pages which concern a horse and buggy outing to Cucamonga Canyon in 1910. Here we can see that the teachers are talking them on a field trip. They are next off to Urbita Springs near San Bernardino which offered a lake and swimming area along with amusement rides in the location that is now Inland Center Mall. Nest trip; Redondo Beach and Pier but this time the youngsters are left behind. After a brief trip back to Cucamonga Canyon the go by car to Stoddard's Canyon in Idaho where they spend a great deal of time hiking and exploring.The group seems to dwindle in size yet their next trip is a gutsy one; up the Owens Valley to Mammoth. It is here that the captions stop and the album turns into a sort of remembrance of friends and the children they birth through the years. There is one fun photograph of one of the women playing golf. Finally at the end we see a group shot of them all again looking considerably older and wiser but still smiling. N.p. hardcover
190976779Ontario: Chas. G. Frankish 1909. First and only edition. Quarto 11 1/2 x 8 1/2 inches. Unpaginated. Title plus 65 ll. each with a photographic illustration on the recto and descriptive text by the publisher on the opposing verso Publisher's stapled wrappers lettered in dark green and with a photographic illustration of a Yucca plant. Small chip to base of spine and the staples have bitten deep but a very good and clean copy.Rare in the trade and 9 located by OCLC.San Antonio Canyon is at the base of Mount Baldy and now just north of the towns of Upland and Ontario. Chas. G. Frankish moved to Ontario in 1885 after trading his 10-acre citrus ranch in nearby Riverside for 80 acres of undeveloped land on Euclid Avenue south of the Southern Pacific railroad tracks. He moved to Ontario because he firmly believed in what the Chaffey brothers were attempting to accomplish with their planned "Model Colony" and also because he foresaw Ontario's potential for growth and development. When he learned that the Chaffey brothers were planning to sell their interest in the model community he quickly joined with a small group of investors to organize the Ontario Land and Improvement Company. In February 1886 Frankish was named president and manager of the newly formed company. He took an active role in the promotion and sale of the company's land holdings. Under his management the company sold $1015000 of real estate during its first two years of existence.Frankish was actively involved in the planning and development of Ontario. He was responsible for the design of almost all of the city south of the Southern Pacific tracks and he established and ran Ontario's first ban the Ontario State Bank. We can find no history of his photographic pursuits. Chas. G. Frankish unknown
