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

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

51-1295Late 19th Century-Early 20th Century. Silver print. Panorama. 8 x 42 inches. Provenance: Peter Howard Berkeley. "The well known 'Raymond' granite quarries near Raymond in Madera County not only are and have been for a number of years the most important mineral industry of the county but they are also an important factor in the state's production. As has already been noted… these deposits of workable building stone are located in the western edge of the Sierra foothills. There are two quarries about 1 mile apart circa 1914 on the east side of a small valley about 2 miles east of Raymond which is the terminus of the Berenda-Raymond branch of the Southern Pacific Railroad. Both quarries are served by spur tracks from this branch line. It is now recognized that this stone is not excelled by any other building granite found either in this state or elsewhere. It is noted for its beautiful white color the fineness and uniformity of its texture its weathering qualities and its freeness in working. As to this last named feature it lends itself readily to all classes of fine structural carving."1998 Observer:"Raymond is an interesting little place. It used to be a large bustling town in the late 1800s because a railroad spur was built to it and stage coaches were used to carry passengers to Yosemite. Later another railroad track was built in from Merced in 1907 and Raymond lost all of the tourist business to Yosemite. Of all the buildings built then only a few are left; and everything built for the railroad is gone except for a monument across the street from the store about the Wild Cat Station Raymond CA. There is another monument in front of Hills Pride Inn about the town of Knowles. Luckily for Raymond someone had discovered the granite nearby in 1886 so the granite business helped keep Raymond alive - only the town didn’t flourish as much as during the Yosemite times." Late 19th Century-Early 20th Century. unknown
