Scale 1:
None shown
Note:
A color litho view of the Big Trees, with eight keyed (A-H) descriptions of the trees. The color lithography is very well done. Presumably, this was a hand out to subscribers of the newspaper, and thus ephemeral in its survival. Currey & Kruska call it "A fanciful engraving of the Calaveras Grove..." The date is estimated by them. Not in Peters' "California On Stone."
Reference:
Currey & Kruska 246; Larson III-165.
