Provenance: private collection, San Francisco. After studying at the University of California at Berkeley, New York-born Oscar Maurer opened a photography studio in San Francisco.

The only entrant from California in the first Chicago Camera Club Salon of 1900, Maurer received critical acclaim for his atmospheric landscape photograph. Encouraged by this success, he helped establish the first San Francisco Salon, held at the Mark Hopkins Institute of Art in 1901. Maurer regularly contributed his Pictorialist landscape photographs to. The journal of the California Camera Club, and to. Stieglitz’s influential publication. In 1906 Maurer, like many Bay Area photographers, lost his studio and its contents in the San Francisco earthquake and fire.
