P-1. 1853 - "Mission and Plain of San Fernando" U.S. Pacific Railroad Survey, Washington, DC. Tinted lithograph showing a ranch in what can only be called an unpopulated San Fernando Valley. In the foreground, a Californio cuts cactus pears... not a freeway to be seen! (see Tyler "Prints of the West" for details on this print and other from the famous Survey volumes) $190.00

[View Photo] P-2. 1889 - "The Special Correspondent" Rufus Fairchild Zogbaum. Harpers Weekly, July 29, 1889. Cover page with masthead. Contemporary color. A western scene by an artist whose only failing was to be active at the same time as Remington. He is clearly the equal of Remington in many respects (my opinion) and his work graced Harpers for several years. In this scene the foreground is taken up by a correspondent sitting on horseback. In the background, a cavalry action is about to take place, the officers on a nearby hilltop and the troops formed up on the plain beyond. $75.00

P-5. 1889 - "A Court-martial in the Field" Rufus Fairchild Zogbaum. Harper's weekly, 1889. double page and hand-colored (modern) Scene depicts a soldier before his Commanding Officer. A guard is nearby and three other officers are present, one of whom is recording events while the other two SOLD are seated in field chairs. Two dogs are also lounging around. In the background, camp life goes on routinely including meal preparation in front of a commissary wagon labeled "US No 8, Fort Jones." Except for the subject, an almost idyllic scene of Army camp life.$70.00

P-6. 1856 - "Mission of San Diego" U.S. Pacific RR Survey, Washington DC. 6 x 9 tinted lithograph, believed to be the first widely-distributed view of the Mission and one of the earliest prints of anything concerning San Diego. Increasingly scarce. $160.00

P-7. 1874 - "City of New York. From Brooklyn Heights" Picturesque America, Appleton & Co, NY5 x 9, BW lithograph from steel-plate engraving. Ships and boats and ferries and scows and barges fill this scene of a bustling NYC. In the right background is what I have always thought of as the Brooklyn Bridge, but if I am wrong it is still a nice suspension bridge. Great gift for a New Yorker and at this price, you would break the bank (and we have other Picturesque America prints available). $30.00

P-11. 1856 - "Colorado and Signal Mountain" U.S. Pacific Railroad Survey, Washington, D.C. 6 x 9 tinted lithograph. One of my favorite. Inside a semi-circular "frame", the artist has depicted the survey party about the begin a trek across the desert to Signal Mountain which is a speck on the far horizon. Already a mule is down and the teamsters are transferring his load to another animal. very slight foxing on right side of plate, otherwise very good impression. $45.00
(Note: many other USPRR Survey prints available. Ask!!!)

P13. 1857 "Valley of the Gila & Sierra de las Estrellas from the Maricopa Wells" U.S, Pacific Railroad Survey. Tinted Lithograph,6x9. A survey party beds down for the night by a large cactus with mountains in the background and an Indian lounging off to one side. Pretty little print and noteworthy for depicting the site of present-day PHOENIX, AZ. VG+ with one small stain in the margin outside the border. $80.00

Thanks for looking over my list... please call, fax, or E-mail any questions you might have. Also any comments about how to improve my page... this is an experiment and like most experiments, it is in a very dynamic state of change. Always buying Annual Reports of the Superintendent of the U.S. Coast Survey, individually issued maps by Peterman and Atlases and Road maps (of the west) thru 1940.
