EDITORS COMMENTS
This print takes us back in time to the bustling mining claims of California in the mid-19th century. The drawing, skillfully created by Jules Pelcoq, vividly illustrates the story of Baron de Wogan's journey to California between 1850 and 1852. As we gaze upon this engraving from "Le tour du monde, nouveau journal des voyages" published in Paris in 1860, we are transported to a scene filled with activity and anticipation. The workshop depicted here showcases the relentless efforts of miners as they tirelessly search for precious minerals deep within the earth. The intricate details captured by Pelcoq allow us to witness firsthand the arduous labor undertaken by these individuals seeking fortune and opportunity during the famous Gold Rush era. From their weathered faces to their worn-out tools, every element tells a story of determination and perseverance. This print is part of Selvas collection, preserved over time as a testament to an important chapter in American history. It serves as a reminder that dreams can be pursued against all odds and that even amidst harsh conditions, hope can flourish. Leonard de Selva's photography beautifully captures this historic engraving without losing any essence or charm. As we admire this piece today, it allows us to reflect on our past while appreciating how far we have come since those early days of exploration and discovery in California's gold mines.
