The 1905 Suits-Schuman is one of the most important western directories for California research, in that it is from a period of post-1900 gold-silver boom, containing many of the small mining camps. He and I used it regularly. Then we found this earlier volume from 1904, a discovery! As with the 1905 version, the binding is poor. 6 x 9” format, 906pp. This copy was originally owned by Charles S. Conner, an attorney in Los Angeles, as well as Cochran, Williams & Phillips. The directory has an inventory upfront of the towns listed, easily over 1000 California towns. Unlike the 1905 version, there are no Nevada locales included. This is easily the most important of the first post-1900 State Gazetteers. The business directory portion comprises 147pp alone! The retail liquor section is by surname of owners, not saloon name. Ron Lerch CollectionEst. $500-2000 HWAC# 145594Additional photos available in our online catalog at FHWAC.com

Trautwein, 1972. This is a classic Western scene of the mountains, by a hunter on horseback, who has just shot a Mountain Sheep. The piece has been reframed, and the original canvass has been restretched and cut onto a new canvass frame. The painting originally was likely at least 2 “ wider, and 1.5 inches longer. The canvass looks old in appearance. We are unable to found F.W. Trautwein, or anyone of a similar name in Falk. Likewise, we searched Newspapers.com and Ancestry.com, for artists of this name, both circa 1870’s and 1970’s unsuccessfully. The quality of skill in artisanship of the horses is excellent, as is perhaps that of the man, while the detail of the mountains in background is lacking. This is actually a magnificent painting in a frame that does not do it justice.

Several labels of differing dates on the back, possibly from auction sales through time. This is a magnificent painting of three children, clearly a commissioned work. Narjot’s control of facial detail is excellent, as well as other areas of the painting, including the dog, to which he wanted to draw attention. Narjot, 1826-1898 was born in Saint-Malo, France, brought up in Paris, and joined the California Gold Rush in 1849. Narjot continued with mining ventures in California and Mexico, before returning to San Francisco, where established a gallery in 1865. Interestingly, Narjot is not listed in Bancroft. Narjot is included in Vincent’s book, “O California!”, 1990, as one of California’s most prominent artists. He was commissioned to paint the ceiling of Leland Stanford’s tomb, during which he lost sight in one eye during an accident in the course of painting. Narjot was an early member of the Bohemian Club, and as such was on par with Keith and Hill. Narjot taught at the California School of Design. He is considered one of California’s 30 great artists.
