191051357San Francisco: Worden Art Goods Pictures Framing 312 Stockton Street ca. 1910. One large original silver gelatin photograph hand-painted & coloured by Worden sized 16 x 20 in. framed by Worden’s gallery in beautiful Arts & Crafts frame sized 21 x 25.5 in. retaining the original plaster hanger and silk braid now reinforced with modern coated wire and retaining the original studio label on back. This exceptional photograph provides a fantastic example of the abilities of Worden 1868-1946 at the height of his career and just before he was appointed one of the Panama-Pacific International Exposition’s official photographers. This haunting image records the walkway and arches of the mission in some disrepair with ivy growing on some of the pillars occasional adobe bricks crumbling from the uprights and an exceptional sharpness of the image. Worden grew up in Philadelphia studied painting at the PAFA and became a photographer while serving in the Spanish-American War. In 1902 after the war he established his studio near the Presidio and began photographing views of San Francisco’s Coastline Golden Gate Park Chinatown the devastating 1906 earthquake and fire and later hand-painting or colouring the images for sale.

80028A pair of pre-women’s suffrage handbills circa 1901 encouraging the mothers of San Pedro California to attend a meeting at the First Presbyterian Church to discuss "business pertaining to our public schools." Both pieces carry the imprint of the San Pedro Times.<br /> <br /> Printed in black on one side of a 5 3/4" x 9" sheet of pink paper the first handbill is addressed to the voters of the San Pedro School District:<br /> <br /> "For the past three years our Public Schools have been unsatisfactory both to parents and teachers. We believe that every parent taxpayer and voter is in duty bound to use every lawful effort to overcome the present indifference and lack of business methods. The parents are confronted with discouraged children and teachers have been handicapped by uncertainties and only an eight months school."<br /> <br /> It also mentions the organizations' nomination of Henry Baly 1853-1930 an English-born banker for school trustee. The handbill was folded in quarters with a bit of toning and wear along the extremities.<br /> <br /> Although women did not yet have the vote the Mothers of San Pedro asserted its influence by officially nominating Baly and calling for at least a nine-month school year. “Reminding you that we as mothers have great interest in the schools we ask for him the support of every voter†the handbill declares.<br /> <br /> Women in California were not granted voting rights until 1911 and nearly a decade later women were granted this right at the federal level with the passage and ratification of the 19th Amendment to the U.S. Constitution. In 1893 the California legislature passed a bill extending suffrage to women in school elections. However it was vetoed by Governor Henry Markham.<br /> <br /> The second piece printed in black on one side of a 6" x 9" sheet of standard stock provides details of the meeting and concludes: "Every Mother is urged to be present." Come! Come!" The handbill was folded in quarters with some general toning and bit of minor staining.<br /> <br /> No reference to the Mothers of San Pedro could be readily located. The San Pedro School District which dates to the founding of San Pedro Elementary in 1866 joined the Los Angeles Unified School District in 1909 when the city was annexed. unknown

78628An advertising poster for the Mount Lowe Railway Southern California's iconic funicular which closed permanently in 1938. The railway opened on July 4 1893 and consisted of nearly seven miles of track starting in Altadena California to Mount Echo where a 70-room Victorian hotel the Echo Mountain House once stood. The hotel and subsequent replacements were destroyed by natural disasters and in 1938 a flood washed most everything off the mountainside.<br /> <br /> This poster features a hand-colored photographic image and is mounted on chipboard. It measures approximately 18" x 39 1/2" and was likely hanging at a railway station. It appears to be circa 1925 as the Tavern's name changed that year from Ye Alpine Tavern to Mount Lowe Tavern. The Tavern burned down in 1936 and was never rebuilt. There is a light tide mark along the lower edge of the panel with shallow chipping and loss to the corners not affecting the printed area.<br /> <br /> This is a rare survivor with no known holdings in special collections or private hands. It was acquired from a longtime collector of Mount Lowe material who prized it in his personal collection for more than 30 years. unknown

198912906Santa Rosa CA: Graphic Concepts 1989. Broadsheet cartoon map 22.25 x 16.75 inches with printed information on verso intended as a brochure but in this case unfolded. Some dampstaining along bottom portion mostly visible on verso with old tape at each corner of verso from previous mounting likely removed from a wall or bulletin board long ago. Otherwise minor wear. Good plus. Rolled. A lovely illustrated map of Napa Valley highlighting one of the region's most distinctive and iconic characteristics -- its robust viticulture industry. Numerous vineyards and wineries dot the fertile valley epitomized by an idyllic scene in the upper right corner. Notable names include Robert Mondavi Charles Krug Beringer Stag's Leap Sutter Home and Charles Shaw the source of Trader Joe's "Two Buck Chuck". The design and layout were executed by Ron Morales with artwork by Susan Clifford. This is one of several similar wine maps created by Morales though the emphasis on Napa Valley is an uncommon characteristic. The notice in the bottom margin reads "Copyright 1989 by Graphic Concepts" of Santa Rosa California. Charts on the verso lists the wineries by county and their various amenities and operating hours as well as local accommodations entertainment restaurants and so forth. This work was intended to be folded as a brochure for easy transport but the current example was never folded; it was likely posted at a winery or local business in Napa Valley and taken off the wall at some point. OCLC records just two copies of this delightful map fit for the wall of any wine enthusiast at the Library of Congress and the University of Utah though it is difficult to believe copies don't reside at various California especially northern California institutions.

3971San Francisco:: News Letter. Not illustrated; 4 pp. Folio bifolium outer pages browned inner pages less so. The bulk of this Postscript pages 1-3 contains the transcript of a letter from Eugene N. Richardson 1847–1889 to Charles Bruce Porter 1817–1894 joint publisher of the weekly newspaper the "Contra Costa Gazette" and a keen supporter of narrow gauge rail. Porter born in Taunton Massachusetts went to California in 1849 and soon entered politics serving as both a state Congressman and Senator.The author of the letter Robinson was referred to in a California newspaper at the time of probating his will as “Cornelius Vanderbilt’s ‘pet broker.’†He was born in New York state and his main area of expertize was mining but he was also along with Vanderbilt a director of the Lake Shore and Michigan Southern Railway Company and both men at different times served as President of that line.In great detail Robinson outlines the advantages of a narrow gauge rail-bed of 36 inches as opposed to the more commonly used gauge of 48 inches for both freight and passenger use. The coast of the narrower is shown to be considerably less in building the line in the equipment needed to run it and its future maintenance. He proves that the narrow gauge can equal and in some instances out-perform the regular gauge. He is extremely enthusiastic and sends all good wishes for the line’s success. This proposed line was apparently not built Union Pacific built a line in the 1890s.Numbers of this newspaper are very sketchily held and there seems to be some confusion as to when it was published. It was a weekly and therefore one might assume that a volume would contain 52 issues. This present number was the fifth of Volume 5 and was published on March 1—it is apparent that the paper was first published on Saturday February 1 of some year. Working backwards the first issue was published on Saturday February 1 1851 and ceased on Saturday August 25 1928. The Library of Congress has a notation that this publication was the organ of the Aerial Steam Navigation Company Frederick Marriott founded in 1856 to promote his attempt to launch an early flying machine. We can find no evidence to support this. Marriott the publisher of The San Francisco News Letter was an English-born American publisher and early promoter of aviation who came to the United States when news of the 1849 gold rush reached Britain. He had been one of the founders of the London Illustrated News and had considerable financial success until his last British venture Chat failed and led to his near-bankruptcy. In 1850 he left England for California traveling by the isthmus route over Panama an experience that led him to try and find a faster and safer route to California. To this end he created the Avitor Hermes Jr. the first unmanned aircraft to fly by its own power in the United States. He is credited as the person to coin the word “aeroplaneâ€. Marriott intended his steam-powered aircraft to fly coast to coast over the United States. The vehicle was named after the Greek Messenger of the Gods who was also regarded as a protector of travelers. Initial tests were successful but he failed in his attempt to prove its viability before the completion of the last section of the Trans-Continental Railroad which happened in May 1869—Marriott’s company ceased to exist that same year.

The consequence has been that there is no frontier State east or west of the Mississippi whose story is so little stained with Indian troubles as is that of the State of California". Casserly also commends Pennsylvania "with her Indians managed and humanized by her Quakers" and acknowledges that national sentiment is opposed to the new policy.<br /> <br /> Eugene Casserly 1820 - 1883 served as a Democratic Senator from California from 1869 to 1873. Casserly was chairman of the Committee on Pacific Railroads 42nd Congress and the Committee on Engrossed Bills 42nd & 43rd Congress.

19645328New York: Photo Researchers Inc 1964. Joseph J. "Joe" Munroe 1917-2014 was an Ohio-born photographer and filmmaker who studied with Ansel Adams early on in his career. After serving in the Air Force during World War II he settled in California where he developed an interest in agriculture and rural life. "Munroe's camera caught the last days of farmers driving teams of horses and picking cotton by hand. From the 1940s through the 1970s technology brought dramatic changes to farm life in the United States. There were still families operating small farms with manual labor but fewer of them. From family-operated farms in the Midwest to the vast fields of California's Central Valley the joys challenges and sheer hard work of rural life are seen in Joe's photographs" ref.Ohio Memory Joe Munroe Collection.
