This outstanding souvenir album offers an invaluable visual record of the famed Rancho Los Alisos created as a lush landscaped park by Judge Charles Silent (1843-1918) from 1905 when he purchased the property from Jonathan Slauson to his death. Serving as his country estate amidst the orange groves many of which can be seen in the birds-eye photos which open the album, Silent contracted with noted Arts & Crafts architects Charles & Henry Greene to create a lush and opulent landscape. These photos depict how the judge sculpted and experimented with palms, and other exotic trees through winding paths and roads, along with glimpses of the one-story ranch house designed by the Greene's, the waterfall fountain & pool (1 of several reservoirs on the property), rustic Arts & Crafts timbered gates, pathways, and fences. For over twelve years he continued to add land to the properties as he expanded the plantings, and placed fairy like settings with rustic stone walls, earthen bowls, and lavish fern plantings, which were open to the public on Sundays with a sign on the front gate reading "Visitors Welcome." Silent imported the first Copa de Ora vines into California from Hawaii, shared many of his prized specimens with Henry Huntington, served many years as Los Angeles Park Commissioner, laid out Elysian Park, made over Pershing Square, and started Griffith Park. It proved to be a popular Southern California tourist spot for a time, and occasionally Real Photo Postcard images of the Rancho and surrounding area appear on the market, but we were unable to find any similar large images to these at auction, or in catalogues. The photographers for this album were Arion Putnam (1871-1949) and Carlton Valentine (1871-1970), storied Los Angeles commercial photographers who specialized in landscape photography. Putnam's father John R. Putnam (1834-1913) had founded the firm originally with Carlton Valentine by the 1880s, and Arion who was one of the Southern Pacific's official photographers, as well as a noted California Impressionist plein air painter, operated the studio with Valentine and was the active photographer for the firm even before his father's death. The 295 acre Rancho Los Alisos was purchased in July, 1953 by the California Girl Scouts council and established the very popular Camp Aventura which continued to operate until the end of the 1960s. Dating of this album was established as the patent number for the Heinn Co. label indicates ca. 1908, and Putnam & Valentine operated under that name from 1901-1920.
