Rare STEAMER Steamship from San Francisco California 1861 Civil War Era Original. Offered is an original, collectible newspaper (NOT a copy/reproduction): STEAMER BULLETIN–FOR THE ATLANTIC STATES AND EUROPE, San Francisco, California, July 1, 1861 Rare steamship – steamer publication First year of the American Civil War “Steamer editions” are rarely found today. They were special editions meant for East Coast consumption–in this case Europe as well. This is an edition of the San Francisco Bulletin. As noted on page 4, the Daily Bulletin published every evening except Sunday. Four pages, never bound nor trimmed so it folds out to one large sheet, minor loss at the blank spine and two upper corners do not affect any text. Generally in good condition. The July 1, 1861, Steamer Bulletin represents a critical “information bridge” during one of the most volatile months in American history, arriving just weeks before the First Battle of Bull Run and months before the completion of the Transcontinental Telegraph. Published by the San Francisco Bulletin specifically for “the Atlantic States and Europe, ” this eight-page double sheet served as the definitive voice of the Pacific Coast, assuring Eastern and overseas readers of California’s steadfast loyalty to the Union despite the growing chaos of the Civil War. Because these editions had to endure a grueling multi-week journey by steamship via the Isthmus of Panama, they were printed on durable paper but often suffered from the humid, salty conditions of the mailbags, making surviving copies like yours exceptionally rare.

Watkins New Series – Palace Hotel Interior San Francisco California Stereoview. He found international fame for his award winning photographs of Yosemite, San Francisco, the Pacific coast and subjects throughout the western states. Watkins is best known for his mammoth plate photographs but actually published the majority of his work as stereoviews. They represent a comprehensive look into California and the West from the 1860s through the 1890s. Carleton Watkins was born in Oneonta, New York on November 11, 1829. He traveled to California with Collis Huntington (later to become one of the “Big Four” owners of the Central Pacific Railroad). Watkins was employed by Huntington in Sacramento delivering supplies to the mining operations. After the great Sacramento city fire of November 2-3, 1852 he set out to be a professional photographer. Between 1852 and 1854 Watkins worked as the camera operator for several established photographers including Robert Vance who had a gallery at the corner of Sacramento and Montgomery Streets, near George Murray’s Bookstore where Watkins worked as a clerk. By 1858 Watkins was working on his own, taking on a number of photographic commissions for publishers and individuals, such as James M. Hutching who used the photographs as a source for engravings in his “Illustrated California Magazine”. He produced photographs for evidence in courts of law and also documented the mining estate of John Fremont and his wife Jessie Benton Fremont in Mariposa County and their estate at Black Point. In July of 1861 Watkins traveled to Yosemite equipped with a mammoth-plate camera, which used 18 by 22 inch glass plate negatives, and a stereoscopic camera. These photographs and later Yosemite images, established him as a master of landscape photography. The prints helped influence the U. Congress to pass legislation protecting Yosemite Valley. Watkins may have traveled to Yosemite in 1858-59 and the first 100 stereographs could include a combination of the two trips. Watkins issued his early stereoviews on glass mounts and on card mounts with handwritten titles. These have come to be known as manuscript or hand-signed Watkins views. After about 1863, stereoviews were mounted on yellow cards with printed labels. These were later replaced with orange card stock and printed labels. Watkins won many awards during his career, starting in 1865 with an award for “Mountain Views” at the Mechanics’ Institute Exhibition in San Francisco. In 1867 Watkins won a medal for landscape photographs at the Paris International Exposition and the following year started printing his stereoviews with an acknowledgment of the medal on the back of the card. After problems with Eastern firms pirating his images, Watkins began copyrighted his work in 1867. Hart’s negatives of the construction of the Central Pacific Railroad, probably through his relationship with Collis Huntington. Watkins published them under the series title “Watkins Central Pacific Railroad” using Hart’s original view numbers (1 through 364). Watkins continued to travel widely, making photographic excursions to Northern California, Yosemite and the Sierra Nevada mountains as well as Utah. Watkins photo wagon, which served as a portable darkroom in the field, displayed advertising for his San Francsico studio. In 1871 Watkins moved his studio to number 22-26 Montgomery Street. Located near one of his largest competitors, Thomas Houseworth, & Co, he named the establishment the “Yosemite Art Gallery”. In the mid-1870s both photographers had studios in the first block of Montgomery Street. The location was convenient to tourists staying just across the street at the Lick House, and to the Palace Hotel at the end of the block. While Watkins won acclaim for his artistic efforts he was not considered a good businessman and, during the financial crisis of 1875, lost his studio and negatives to creditor J. Cook, along with photographer I. Taber, took over the Yosemite Art Gallery. Taber began marketing Watkins stereoviews under the I. Taber label, although retaining Watkins original view numbers and titles. In spite of this devastating setback, Watkins began to rebuild his inventory of negatives by revisiting locations he photographed in the 1860’s. He called these views “Watkins New Series” and started numbering at 3000. Over the next ten years Watkins photographed much of California and the western states eventually publishing more than 2300 New Series titles. Subjects include the Central Pacific Railroad, Sierra Nevada mining, Lake Tahoe, Big Trees, Virginia City, southern California, Arizona, the Pacific Northwest, Yellowstone, and of course, extensive coverage of San Francisco and the Bay Area. By the mid-1890’s Watkins deteriorating eyesight and other health problems impacted his ability to work. The earthquake of 1906 destroyed Watkins studio along with the negatives of his life’s work. Watkins died on June 23, 1916 at the age of eighty-seven. Although the negatives were lost, Watkins prints exist today in many private and institutional collections. Please See our other views.

San Francisco Alemany Boulevard sign. Up for sale today is this Alemany Boulevard, 2400 block sign. The sign is made to the 1946 specification used by the city of San Francisco. Signs in this style were still being posted until 1965, and remained in service for several years thereafter. An original of these is very rare to find scrapped. Most of them vanished long ago, when they were replaced with the more modern issues. So here is your chance to own an excellent display piece, without paying a small fortune on the collector’s market. I can make any street name sign, from San Francisco or any other city! Ask about your favorite street! The sign is 33 by 11 inches, and weighs about 7 lb. This is a high quality, heavy steel remake, printed on one side for economical display against a wall or other flat surface. It is a non-reflective sign, making it ideal for ordinary display, inside or out. Accept no imitations that may be one-third this price, but are one-tenth the quality. No cheap tin to be found here, with the wrong fonts, layouts, size, shape, or any other manner of embarrassing imperfection. This one will make even the most discerning collector stick their nose into the sign, as it looks that good from that close! Would you like a street name or block number not seen here? Or perhaps a different style? I can of course make these signs with any street name of your choice, and not just this style, but older and newer ones, and even the classic mileage, direction, and route shield signs from the era. Anything you would like, made with unsurpassed quality right here in the good old US of A. Figure about 9 lb. The watermark and bear logo in the design preview will not appear on the actual sign. We have begun adding a watermark because we have had problems with other companies copying our artwork to make lesser-quality imitations. You will only get this high level of quality in design and materials from Signs by Jake.

54.5 x 32 cm (21.5 x 12.5 in). Stations of the God’s-Eye Pilgrimage Places in the Haight. In 1976, Haight-Ashbury, an epicenter of the 1960s counterculture, remained a place of pilgrimage nearly a decade after the Summer of Love. This detailed map of the area, issued in the February 26, 1976 edition of Rolling Stone Magazine, celebrates this enduring cultural significance. The map highlights key spots and characters that define the neighborhood, serving as a follow-up to an article about the area’s evolution. It showcases important locations such as the Diggers store, Janis Joplin’s apartment at 112 Lyon St. #27, and the Grateful Dead House at 710 Ashbury St. Numerous photographs illustrate points of interest, including Hippie Hill, a popular public forum and social setting, and the Diggers’ Free Frame of Reference and Free Store. The Radha-Krishna Temple and Far-Fetched Foods, also known as Blind Jerry’s-the first health food store in the Haight-were notable landmarks. Cultural hubs like Mouse Studios/Pacific Ocean Trading Co. A poster gallery, and the I-Thou Coffee Shop contributed to the vibrant community. Other significant spots included Quasar’s Ice Cream, The Trip without a Ticket (a later incarnation of the Free Frame of Reference), and the Hip Job Co-Op, which provided job referrals. The map also features the Straight Theater, a movie theater converted into a dance hall, and 42 Belvedere, where Rudolf Nureyev and Margot Fonteyn were famously arrested. The Shire School, a tuition-free, Summerhill-inspired primary school, and the Haight-Ashbury Free Medical Clinic, located at Happening House, were integral parts of the community. Tracy’s Donuts was a popular gathering place due to its late hours, while the Pall Mall Cocktail Lounge became known for serving Love Burgers. Other highlights include the Print Mint, a poster gallery that emerged after a Berkeley book dealer was denied a license to sell used books, and the Psychedelic Shop, which offered books, records, paraphernalia, and a meditation room. Mnasidika, the first hip shop on Haight Street, and the Blue Unicorn, the neighborhood’s first coffee house opened in 1963, were also featured. The map details the Grateful Dead house at 710 Ashbury, the Blushing Peony (also known at various times as Skinnidippin and Middle Earth), and All Saints Episcopal Church, which lent its facilities to the Diggers despite parishioner objections. The Panhandle was a scene of free rock concerts and Diggers’ free feeds, while the Drogstore Cafe and the Phoenix, a paraphernalia shop with the offices of the “Oracle” upstairs, were key spots. The map also marks Janis Joplin’s apartment at 112 Lyon, Allen Ginsberg’s sometime residence at 1360 Fell, and Huckleberry’s for Runaways, which provided housing and counseling for runaway minors. The Albin Place at 1090 Page, birthplace of Big Brother and the Holding Company, and the Tape Music Center, a rehearsal hall for the Charlatans, site of Bill Ham’s light shows, Anna Halprin’s dance troupe, electronic music performances, and the SF studio of Berkeley radio station KPFA-FM, were also noted. Lastly, the Magic Theater for Madmen Only, a primordial hippie boutique, is highlighted. This map captures the waning days of the psychedelic era and commemorates significant points in Haight-Ashbury, reflecting the neighborhood’s lasting impact on American culture.
