"Reprinted from Volume XIX, Number 3, California Historical Society Quarterly, September 1940." A collection of Edward Vischer's letters, reprinted herein, that he wrote during his first visit to California in 1842. Edward Vischer (1809-1878) was a German-American painter and photographer. Vischer is perhaps best-known for his pencil sketches of California made during the 1860s and 1870s. The trip described in these letters was undertaken for both business and leisure. At the time, Vischer was based in Mexico and worked for Heinrich Virmond. These letters are an invaluable source of Vischer's thoughts and experiences and a glimpse into the places and events of that time period. Vischer writes about his trip aboard the schooner California; his admiration of the California's crew members from the Pacific Islands; the rugged coastlines of Southern and Central California; Monterey's charm; his overland travel via horseback from Monterey to San Francisco; a trip by boat to Sonoma and meeting hunters, mountaineers, and an Indigenous man from the Pacific Northwest aboard this boat; meeting Guadalupe Vallejo in early Sonoma; visiting with a Franciscan monk at Mission San Francisco Solano; California Indigenous tribes; his return trip to Southern California; Santa Barbara; a frightening incident in which he thought a Hawai'ian man had been lost at sea but who was later found on another vessel; early Los Angeles; his enjoyment of California's beautiful scenery, agriculture, and food; his admiration of Californians on horseback; riders' practice of switching out their tired horses for strangers' horses and setting the latter loose to return once they reach their destination; being thrown from a poorly saddled horse and having to recuperate in Los Angeles; Mission San Gabriel; Mission San Juan Capistrano ruins; Mission San Luis Rey; and a tense experience when Micheltorena's convict soldiers were aboard the California on the first leg of the journey from Mexico to California. Erwin Gustav Gudde (1889-1969), translator and editor of this work, was a German-American professor and historian. As an undergraduate, Gudde had attended the University of California (UC Berkeley). In 1922, Gudde received his PhD in German language and literature from the University of California where, soon after, he became a faculty member until his retirement in 1956. Over the course of his career, Gudde developed an interest in the history of German Americans in California and other western states and the origins of place names. One of his most well-known books was California Place Names (1949). The printer of this book, Lawton Kennedy (1900-1980), was an American printer and noted figure of the Bay Area printing community. Kennedy worked for other well-known Bay Area printers including John Henry Nash, Jane Grabhorn's Colt Press, Albert Sperison's Black Vine Press, and Johnck & Seeger. In 1952, Kennedy opened his own printing press in San Francisco.

VISCHER, Edward Ilustrador. First edition, third and best issue (with three more lithographs than the first issue). Title leaf (frontispiece) and twelve lithographic plates by Vischer, with a total of 25 engravings. Oblong folio, mount size (10 7/8 x 13 5/8 inches; 275 x 345 mm). The lithographer was C.C. Kuchel, and the printer L. Nagel. With the exception of the title leaf, the lithographs are mounted (as issued) and have letterpress descriptive text in purple. All plates are loose, as issued in the original cloth portfolio. Portfolio rebacked. Mounted on the inside of the front cover is a lithograph closely resembling the title leaf, but lacking printer's, lithographer's, and typographer's imprints. Mounted on the inside back cover is the "Index" and "Visitor's Guide." The present volume is Farquhar's state A, in a cloth portfolio rather than a pictorial paper envelope. In the envelope issue was a four-page folded sheet with text, which was not issued with this present issue. The text was reduced and edited and mounted on the inside rear cover of the cloth issue. Present with this copy and housed outside the portfolio is a good photocopy facsimile of the four pages that were issued with the envelope issue which include the "Introductory Remarks" by Vischer the "Appendix" and the "Description of Plates." These four pages are mounted on front and back of two thick boards. Plate titles include: The Approaches to the Grove; Mother of the Forest, The Three Graces, The Two Guardsmen; The Mammoth Grove Hotel; The Fallen Hercules of the Grove; Hermit; The Orphans, and others. Original cloth portfolio. Front board stamped in blind and lettered in gilt. Almost invisibly rebacked, preserving the original spine. Some toning to the sheets mounted to the inside covers. Some light toning and offsetting to mounts, but plates are very clean and lovely. Overall, an excellent item; exceptionally rare, as are all Vischer publications. "Vischer visited the Calaveras Grove in 1859 and again in 1861, In 1862, following his second visit, a broadside and a portfolio reproducing his sketches by the lithographic process were issued. Lithographic reproduction ceased when the stone upon which the principal views were drawn was broken" (Currey & Kruska). Edward Vischer as a young man of nineteen emigrated from Germany to Mexico where he was associated with the commercial house of Heinrich Virmond. In the employ of Virmond, or other German-Latin American companies, he acted as supercargo on many trading voyages to west-coast ports of the Americas and to the Orient. In 1842, he became interested in California and agreed to travel there for Virmond. It was in this way that Vischer first came to know the region, anchoring at Monterey, taking an excursion northwest to the port of Yerba Buena, and visiting Santa Barbara and Los Angeles. On this visit he fell in love with California. He gladly returned to San Francisco where he was active in currency exchange operations, acted as agent for German-Mexican firms, as marine forwarding agent, as real estate agent, and as a mortgage banker. At the age of fifty, Vischer became intensely interested in sketching and painting. He combined with these interests a skill in photography. It was his practice to make rapid sketches on the spot of scenes which interested him, the big trees, the ruins of Missions, or mining operations, and later to work up these sketches in water colour, pencil, pen or crayon. Subsequently he reproduced his drawing, first by lithography and later by photography. Using these techniques, Vischer published portfolios of drawings: The Mammoth Tree Grove (1862), The Washoe Mining Region (1862), Pictorial of California Landscape (1870), and Missions of Upper California (1872).

Small stain in upper margin of final twenty leaves, otherwise very clean internally. Very good plus. The John Howell-Kenneth Hill copy of what is likely a preliminary issue of Edward Vischer's album of photographs of his drawings of California landscape. This copy is complete as issued, containing all the plates called for in the general table of contents, but lacking the accompanying text volume except for three leaves that have been inserted along with the preliminary matter. It is unknown why this particular copy was assembled in this way, and we cannot locate any comparable copies, but Palmquist and Kailbourn note: "Vischer was perennially generous in distributing custom-assembled albums of his art, both original works and photographic reproductions." It is possible that it numbers among the twenty copies that Vischer initially sold by subscription, before offering an expanded version in a variety of formats. At the very least, this seems to be an early state of Vischer's PICTORIAL OF CALIFORNIA LANDSCAPE. Including a photographic map of California tipped-in to a blank preliminary leaf, this copy contains 115 mounted photographs, in the following groups: sixty numbered photographs arranged in five series, each preceded by a printed contents leaf; twenty-eight unnumbered plates preceded by a printed section-title, "Trees and Forest Scenes"; twenty-six unnumbered plates preceded by a printed section-title, "Supplement. Grand Features and Characteristic Ranges of Californian Scenery." Vischer created the drawings that he photographed for this album between 1858 and 1867. Featured are photographs of his drawings of missions, ranches, landscapes, towns and small settlements, buildings, the Big Trees, scenes in the Sierra Nevada, passes and summits, and Lake Tahoe. A few images feature camels among the mammoth trees or in Carson Valley (an experiment of the 1860s). The first sixty images are affixed to mounts bearing a printed copyright notice of 1863, and a few of the mounts in this grouping feature the blindstamp of San Francisco photographer George Howard Johnson, whom Vischer contracted in the early 1860s to photograph his work (as noted by Palmquist & Kailbourn). The final "Supplement" section features photographs of art not only by Vischer, but also by Thomas Hill, Thomas Ayres, and other artists, as well as drawings by Vischer of Yosemite photographs by Carleton Watkins. Edward Vischer emigrated from Bavaria to Mexico at age nineteen and worked for a commercial house as a supercargo on voyages to Pacific ports in the Americas and in Asia. He visited California in 1842 before returning in 1849 to settle in San Francisco as an importer, merchant, realtor, and commission agent, and from early on he began making sketches of the natural wonders of his new home. In the 1860s he began experimenting with ways to reproduce his art, first using lithography, but he soon became disenchanted with the ability of the lithographs to faithfully reproduce his artwork and by the tendency of the lithographic stones to break. As a result, Vischer began to photograph his drawings, issuing the photographs in published albums. "Although evidently not a photographer, Edward Vischer was one of the first people to.
