Hardcover. Zustand: Fine. Limited to 400 copies. With a foreword by Robert G. Cleland. Folio. ix, 78 pp. 16 plates. Original linen backstrip, marbled boards, paper spine label. A very fine copy. M'Ilvaine's "sketches" were first published in 1850, and included ten views of California. The sketches of San Francisco, Sacramento, and Stockton are among the earliest known, as are those of Sutter's Fort and Mill. "M'Ilvaine arrived in San Francisco from Callao, Peru, on June 1 and left on November 1, 1849, on board the steamer California. This album-like volume represents one of the earliest publications illustrated with on the spot drawings" (Kurutz). [Howes: M-12; Kurutz: 420-b]. Book. Bestandsnummer des Verkäufers 5468

Hardcover. Zustand: Collectible-Very Good. Cloth backed patterned boards. Illustrations. 400 copies printed by the Grabhorn Press. The author was born in Philadelphia in 1813. He earned a Master of Arts degree in 1835, then devoted a number of years to the study of art in Europe. He joined the gold migration in 1849, traveled through the gold fields and visited gold mines on the Tuolumne, Stanislaus, and Merced rivers. He appears to have devoted more time to his sketch book than to the "pick, pan, or shovel". "The student of California history is also under obligation to M'iIvaine for the brief comment with which he supplements each of his plates. A surprising number of these descriptions contain unusual details or items of historic interest that the writer of the present Foreword at least has not encountered elsewhere".
