1936ref. SHEL1455Portland OR: Midwest Portrait Studios 1936. No Binding. Very Good. Hand-tinted convex photograph under glass of a hunter holding a rifle with a dead cougar laying on a rack behind him. Frame size 12" x 18". Small chips to the frame. The framing was done by Midwest Portrait Studios in Portland Oregon. The printed paper covering the back is mostly detached & curled at the edges. I have not taken the photo out but it appears to be in fine condition. I thought the hunter looked familiar but I was never able to identify him. The newsprint on the back of the cover the Oregonian November 29 1936. It should not take too much of an expert to identify the rifle but I am not that expert. Midwest Portrait Studios unknown

Publisher's quarter brown boars over green boards green endpaper to match. Head of spine a but bumped else a bright and fresh copy.The color illustrations are all of P.G. & E works and include; Electra Power House; Cordelia Substation;De-Sabla Power House; Paterson Ranch Pumping Plant; Centerville Power House; Carquinez Straits Crossing; Spillway-Spaulding Damn; Potrero Gas Works; San Rafael Substation; Colgate Power-House; Brown's Valley Ditch; Champion Mine-Nevada County.Ostensibly issued as a keepsake for Christmas of 1914 the real reason was likely to brag about the completion in 1913 of the huge Big Creek plant the gem of the P.G & E system. It is estimated that there were over 100 hydroelectric plants operational in California by 1914. These ranged from small local plants to large-scale projects supplying power to major cities. This was a very deluxe item so it is probable that PGE presented it only major stockholders This is borne out by the fact that OCLC only records 9 copies Printing colorized photographs in books in 1914 was a very complex and costly process. Special paper had to be used thus the french-fold binding here and the technology was still in its nascent form. But the illustrations fairly burst with color. This was at P.G. & E.'s most muscular; in the 21st century the company filed twice for bankruptcy. (Pacific Gas and Electric Co.) hardcover
