ANONYMOUS CELEBRATE DAYS OF '49 / THE ROMANCE OF CALIFORNIA. 1922. 30x20 inches. Schmidt L. Co., San Francisco. Condition B+: tear in right margin and image; pinholes in corners; discoloration in margins. Paper. Although gold was discovered in California in 1848, it wasn't until 1849 that prospectors from all over the world began pouring into the area. Ever since, the era has been romanticized and immortalized in stories, songs and the popular media. "Sacramento's DAYS OF '49 celebration of 1922 was a week-long festival that spread from the docks of the rivers to Sutter's Fort and the old fairgrounds. Men in buckskin carried muskets and ladies in hoopskirts lofted parasols as prairie schooners, wagons, buggies and buckboards gathered to pay tribute to the hardworking men and women who settled the region".
