Broadside, 10.5x34.5 cm (4 1/8 x 13 1/2 inches). Broadside advertising the sale of the unsold portion of the the Lodi Orchard Company's holdings in the "Home Ranch" of Hon. R. C. Sargent on April 16, 1892. Ross C. Sargent (1821-1903), a New Hampshire-born California Forty-niner, was a prominent pioneer resident of San Joaquin County. Sargent and his brothers were major players in reclamation of swamp and overflowed lands in the San Joaquin Delta under legislation known as the Arkansas Act. At the time of his death in 1903, R. C. Sargent was the largest landowner in San Joaquin County and left the largest estate ever probated in the county. See Alan M. Paterson, Rand F. Herbert and Stephen R. Wee, HISTORICAL EVALUATION OF THE DELTA WATERWAYS: FINAL REPORT, prepared for the State Lands Commission, December 1978. "In 1849, in company with his two brothers J. L. and J. P. Sargent, he started overland for California, arriving on October 13, 1849. For a year and a half they engaged in mining, merchandising and teaming in Placerville, but in 1851 came to San Joaquin county, pre-empted land and started farming. From that time he began increasing his holdings by purchase and by reclamation of the rich overflowed land so that he became one of the largest landholders in the county, his holdings reaching in the neighborhood of twenty-five thousand acres. Mr. Sargent used up-to-date methods in farming and has been notably successful. He invested heavily in different manufacturing enterprises in the county and also in city property in Stockton. As the years have passed, these holdings have grown enormously in value, and at the time of his death, June 15, 1903, he left an extremely valuable estate" (Irvine, HISTORY OF THE NEW CALIFORNIA: ITS RESOURCES AND PEOPLE, VOLUME I [1905]). The millionaire's death led to scandal regarding a young maiden lady who lived in the octogenarian's household, but that's another story . In the winter of 1892 R. C. Sargent's 17,000 acre "Home Ranch" was subdivided and sold to farmers and fruit raisers, the Lodi Orchard Company acquiring 2000 acres (San Francisco Call, March 4, 1892 [volume 71, number 94]). Auction announcements similar to, but not the same, as this handbill appeared in issues of the San Francisco Call and the Morning Call in April 1892. Folded in half; creased, mild stains, a good copy. (#167630).

Reference: Fauser, Nr. 8574 Georg Balthasar Probst (1673-1748) was a german engraver and publisher in Augsburg, located in Germany. He produced architectural views of places around the world intended as vues d'optiques, which were published in various places during the last half of the 18th century, including Paris, Augsburg and London. He was also known for his portraits. Probst came from an extended family of printers, whose businesses can all be traced back to the publishing firm of Jeremias Wolff (1663-1724). After Wolff's death his firm was continued as "Wolff's Heirs" (Haeres Jer. Wolffii) by his son-in-law Johann Balthasar Probst (1689-1750). After Probst's death in 1750, his descendants divided the business and published under their own imprints: Johann Friedrich Probst (1721-1781), Georg Balthasar Probst (1732-1801) and Johann Michael Probst. Another part of the Wolff-Probst firm was acquired by the Augsburg publisher Johann Georg Hertel (1700-1775), whose son Georg Leopold Hertel had married a sister of the Probsts. In the next generation, Georg Mathäus Probst (d. 1788), son of Georg Balthasar Probst, also became an engraver of portraits and views.
