Heading: (California)
Author:
Title: Map of the State of California, compiled expressly for the Immigration Association of California
Place Published: San Francisco
Publisher:Lith. Britton & Rey
Date Published: 1884
Description: Lithographed map. With text on back. 56.5x45.8 (22¼x18").Map geared toward those seeking a life in California, with much printed information on the back about the land, agricultural possibilities, climate, "healthfulness," homesteading laws, etc. OCLC locates only two copies with this title (at U.C. Berkeley and Cal. State Fresno), dating them 1886, but both of those listings state there is no text on the back; there is a copy listed at Harvard, with a variant title ending "compiled expressly for C.H. Street & Co., successors to the Immigration Association of California," dated 1884, that does have the verso text. The present example is dated March, 1884, at the end of the "Endorsements" panel on the back. It would seem to be a variant unrecorded by OCLC.
