1880. California college graduation photograph circa 1880s documents the presence of an Asian student within a formally posed graduating class at a time of legalized anti Chinese exclusion and widespread racial discrimination in the American West. The image shows ten graduates holding diplomas with men in formal evening dress and women in white gowns presenting a unified visual statement of academic achievement and social standing. At the edge of the group a young Asian man faces the camera his inclusion within the cohort providing rare visual evidence of Asian participation in higher education during a period when Chinese immigrants and their descendants faced systemic barriers to citizenship employment and social mobility. Produced in the years surrounding the Chinese Exclusion Act of 1882 the photograph intersects with federal immigration restriction and regional anti Chinese sentiment in California where exclusion laws and social hostility sharply limited opportunities for Asian communities. The image offers documentation of educational attainment that stands in contrast to dominant narratives of exclusion.<br /> <br /> Large format albumen photograph circa 1880s measuring approximately 22 x 17 inches and mounted to a photographer's board bearing the imprint of Elite Studio San Francisco with gilt lettering along the lower margin. The composition presents ten graduates arranged in a formal studio grouping each holding a rolled diploma with attire consistent with late nineteenth century graduation conventions. The Asian student is positioned at the edge of the formation fully integrated within the group portrait. The photograph retains strong clarity in facial detail and costume with the large scale format emphasizing the ceremonial nature of the occasion.<br /> <br /> Created during a period when Chinese immigrants contributed significantly to the economic development of the American West while facing escalating legal restrictions the photograph provides a point of entry into the study of race education and social hierarchy in nineteenth century California. The passage of the Chinese Exclusion Act marked the first federal law to broadly restrict immigration based on nationality reinforcing racialized boundaries that shaped access to institutions such as universities. Within this context the documented presence of an Asian graduate offers valuable evidence of participation and visibility within elite educational spaces despite systemic exclusion. Crease to one side of the photographer's board with minor glue staining along the lower edge not affecting the image. Some light sunning at the top of the photograph; figures remain sharp and legible. Overall good to very good. unknown

San Francisco: California State Automobile Association 1920. 17 3/4 x 12 inches. Very good condition. This is a carefully planned map printed in blue with red over printed roads on the verso. The red roads are paved and oiled roads the remaining blue roads are gravel of dirt. The majority fit in the latter category. There is a paved road running from the Bay to Willits with a portion being blue Most paved roads are around the Bay Area where the major populations are centered. Red roads have both heavy lines and light lines for the user to decipher. On the recto is a listing of service centers for the driver. There is a section for "Electric Service Stations." Overall this is a very informative map printed in an era of little information for the automobile traveler. California State Automobile Association unknown
