1883WRCAM448311883. Oil on canvas 18 x 26 inches on original wooden stretcher with letters in lower margin after the lithographed view of the same title published by Bosqui. Very good. "Edward Bosqui was born in 1833 in Montreal of French descent. When he was about seventeen years old he decided to go to California. He went by way of Panama where like a good many others who headed for the Gold Rush in those days he became stranded. He worked his way up through Mexico a hazardous trip but young Bosqui survived the many hardships.He arrived in San Francisco in the latter part of 1850 and his first job was as cashier of the first bank to be established there. Afterwards he served as General Fremont's secretary. He first went into the printing business in 1859 at Clay and Leidesdorff Streets and stayed at that location for thirty-nine years. Bosqui did bookbinding as well as printing and lithography.He printed the EVENING BULLETIN in the early days of its existence and did a great deal of commercial label work" - Peters. <br> <br> The Arctic Oil Works was established on a Bay side pier between 17th and 16th streets in 1883 to produce refined oils from seals whales and elephant seals. Soon after opening it became the largest oil refinery on the West Coast. In 1902 the oil works became incorporated as part of Standard Oil. <br> <br> The painting is quite similar to the scarce lithographed view produced by Bosqui although more Impressionistic in style and without quite as much detail. The spelling mistakes in the address of the works "Potrcro" instead of Potrero and in the address of the offices "ZB" instead of 28 further suggest this painting to be after the lithographed view. The painting however shows considerable age is on the original stretcher and dates from the late 19th century. PETERS CALIFORNIA ON STONE pp.60-61. J.

1st edition. Original peach colored printed wrappers, stitched, 88 pages. Singerman 1461. Cohen, prominent San Francisco lawyer, book collector, and leader of the Jewish community, was unjustly accused of embezzling funds which belonged to creditors of the firm of Adams & Co. , a banking house which had recently defaulted. The case involved transactions with the California Steam Navigation Company. In 1862 the case was dismissed and Cohen, who became chief counsel to the Central Pacific Railroad, was vindicated. His lawyer, Trenor W. Park, had moved from his native Vermont to California in 1852, where he was counsel to the Vigilance Committee and became involved with Fremont in the Mariposa Mine; Stanly was a North Carolina Congressman who had moved to San Francisco in the 1850's.

1900WRCAM55762San Francisco & Chicago: California Photogravure Co. 1900. Twelve parts. 24pp. plus 130 photogravures on 109 leaves. Folio. Original green cloth-backed textured burgundy leatherette wrappers foredges reinforced with same green cloth gilt title on front wrapper. Minor wear to upper or lower edges of a few volumes. Occasional light offsetting to margins images not affected. Bindings very good; plates near fine. A wonderful complete set of the "Art Work" series for Southern California with many striking views from Santa Barbara to San Diego and from the beaches to the Inland Empire. It is a marvelous record of Los Angeles and numerous small communities during an important period in the area's development. <br> <br> Like many sets in this series the majority of plates depict recently constructed civic buildings such as schools churches hospitals etc. as well as landscaped public spaces and expanding agricultural scenes. Although citrus farming was already a major industry and immigration was booming these scenes show Southern California "before": before the movie industry the freeways etc. Notable in this collection are lovely photogravure images of the State Normal School Los Angeles in 1919 it became the southern branch of the University of California; the College of Liberal Arts building "Old College" at the University of Southern California; the A.K. Smiley Public Library in Redlands; the Los Angeles County Court House the first building built as a courthouse in L.A.; and shots of several streets in and around downtown Los Angeles including tree-lined Sunset Boulevard in Hollywood - then still a dirt road. A brief text authored and signed in facsimile by Lou V. Chapin promotes Southern California as a land happily blending a modern and industrialized region with lush parks and gardens abundant agriculture and long beaches but it's the exquisite images that close the deal. <br> <br> This set has only appeared once at auction in recent years and is scarce in the trade. OCLC lists seventeen copies the majority held by California institutions. A fantastic visual record of California's "Southland" on the cusp of a boom in growth. OCLC 20876322 13326640.
