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.

American, (1915 – 2004). Back of Painting Reads. Faded Stamp: Cory Gallery, San Francisco stamp verso. Oil on masonite board. Cucaro is one of the great mid-century artists. He’s highly collected. This is one of his abstract subjects with San Francisco’s Golden Gate Bridge in the background. The painting is on canvas board and measures 16″ x 12″ and is in good condition. This will brighten any room with it’s bold colors and figurative Urban Scene. Here we have a lively, robust & original painted by Cucaro. With such action, life, and hidden things to discover, Cucaro truly captured feelings like no other. More figurative than abstract, with bold blues-complimented nicely by red accents dotting the crowd. Feel the hustle and bustle in the air, and the energy beckoning from this iconic painting. Pascal (Pat) Cucaro was born in Youngstown, Ohio on November 6, 1915, to Italian immigrant parents. He worked in the circus during his childhood summers — the experiences giving him a lifelong interest in clowns, and circus life. His painting style is characterized by a bold gestural quality, complimented by a thick application of paint. In some cases, the artwork has paint so thick it seems to have been applied straight from the tube. He became part of the art scene during the lively’Beat’ years in San Francisco’s North Beach section, and exhibited his work at the Black Cat Cafe, The Iron Pot, The Lion Book Shop, The City Lights Book Shop, Vesuvio’s, and The Hungry I. He was nominated for the Presidential Medal of Freedom in 1965. He traveled extensively abroad to find new inspirations for his work — to Japan, Thailand, Burma, Sri Lanka, China, Greece, Turkey, Israel, Tahiti, and throughout Europe. He has explored a variety of subjects: clowns, circus scenes, boats, street scenes, still lifes, coffee shops, crowd themes (what Cucaro calls “people-people” paintings) animals, abstracts, portraits, and mediums such as oils, acrylics, plastic, ceramics, watercolors, tempera, etchings, india ink, ink/wash, and prints. From his Parisian sojourn, from his studies in private studios, his long strolls along the length of the Seine or across the French countryside, he has brought back pictures which some feel vibrate with some of the magic of his masters; Cezanne, Lautrec, Utrillo and Dufy.
