"Journeying through the Old California: A Glimpse into the 19th Century USA" Step back in time and embark on a stagecoach journey through the captivating landscapes of Old California. With each brushstroke, artists Britton & Rey transport us to an era filled with historical events that shaped this remarkable state. In 1851, amidst the chaos of the Sixth Great Conflagration in San Francisco, artist J de Vere captures the intensity and devastation that engulfed this vibrant city. The flames may have scorched buildings, but they couldn't extinguish Californians' resilience. Witness history unfold as we delve into Fort Vigilance's dark past. In 1856, Hetherington and Brace faced their final moments at this very spot. Britton & Rey's poignant depiction reminds us of justice served during those tumultuous times. Outside Fort Vigilant in Sacramento, a mass meeting takes place in 1856. People from all walks of life gather to discuss matters close to their hearts - democracy and freedom echoing through every conversation. Britton & Rey perfectly capture this pivotal moment where voices unite for change. Amidst strife and struggle, Californians still found reasons to celebrate. Cooke & Le Count's painting showcases a joyous Fourth of July celebration in San Francisco circa 1852 - a testament to their indomitable spirit even during challenging times. Fort Vigilant stands tall as an emblem of strength against adversity throughout these years. Its walls witnessed countless stories unfold within its confines; it remains an enduring symbol of hope amidst uncertainty. Travel further inland to Sonora, California in 1852 - Pollard & Britton's artwork transports us to bustling streets brimming with gold prospectors seeking fortune amid rugged terrain. Dreams were born here; legends were made. Scotts Bar and French Bar along Scotts River paint a picture of frontier life untouched by time or civilization itself.
