Original 1915 Panama Pacific Expo End of the Trail Photograph Print by Cardinell Vincent of San Francisco California. After the sculpture by James Earl Fraser that was housed in the Tower of Jewels at the Panama Pacific Exposition in 1915 in San Francisco. Tinted sepia photograph print. Has stamped mark of Cardinell Vincent SF CO lower right. Could be original frame. Frame is carved in and out with gold tones. Nice frame though not a pie frame but still a nice frame. Frame measures 16 1/2 x 13 1/2 inches. Photograph image measures 13 1/2 x 10 1/2 inches. Not the smaller ones of 8 x 10 that were prints. Condition: Frame is excellent condition, photograph is in fine condition. There is an exposed area. Usually I take frames apart to find missing stuff or signatures but not this one.

Mid-Century California, Mexico, Caribbean, Dominican Republic, Cuba, Panama Photo Album, 1930s-50s. Author: Mexico, Panama, Caribbean Title: Mid-Century California, Mexico, Caribbean, Dominican Republic, Cuba, Panama Photo Album, 1930s-50s. [Central America: Mexico, Dominican Republic, Cuba, Panama] [Photography] Photo Album captures a series of leisure trips across California, Mexico, Dominican Republic, Cuba, Panama, and other U. And North American travel documents the coastal and cross-border tourist experience of an American social group during the 1930s through the early 1950s. Album consists of 218 silver gelatin photographs and measures 11.5″ x 15.25″, photographs range from 2.25″ x 2.75″ to 4.5″ x 5.5″. The 220 photographs are cornered in on black album pages and captioned either on the album paper or en verso of some photographs with dated inscriptions beginning in 1937. One such caption “July 19, 1938 / On Board S/S Dixie from New Orleans, La” helps trace a mobile itinerary that blends domestic tourism with Caribbean and Mexican excursions. The bulk of the photographs depict Southern California locales with particular attention to San Diego, Catalina Island, and Los Angeles. Labeled sites in California include Hollywood, Olvera Street, Balboa Park, Mission Beach and Alcatraz Island — San Francisco, Muir Woods, La Jolla, and the beachfront resort of the Hotel del Coronado. A vibrant sequence from Catalina Island showcases scenic vistas, small boats, and seaside leisure, including bathing scenes and cliffside views marked Sea Rocks off Catalina Island. Other images note Hollywood residences and Pasadena gardens, with one standout view of the Bernheimer Japanese Palace, later known as the Yamashiro Historic District. The group’s Cuban excursion, marked “Havana, Cuba, ” includes posed beach portraits, street scenes, and courtyard gatherings at what appears to be a hotel or guesthouse surrounded by tropical landscaping. Other photos are from Panama city, showcasing ruins in Old Town, a trolley ride over the Canal from the Pacific to the Atlantic. Some photos have the inclusion of Afro-Caribbean locals walking busy streets and within rural tropical zones. These segments suggest a common pattern of mid-century American tourism that sought exoticism, climate, and cultural novelty in nearby Latin American destinations, all within the framework of organized cruise or steamship itineraries. Additional photos show domestic travel to New Orleans, Utah, and Nova Scotia, including Salt Lake City and what is labeled “Indian Island, ” suggesting a broader cross-continental reach. However, the heart of the album lies in its richly visual record of California and Latin American tourism. Albums like this serve as vital records of pre-jet age tourism and the aspirational itineraries of American travelers in the mid-20th century, bridging domestic vacationing with hemispheric exploration.
