  • Alternatieve titel

    Silver and gold

Uittreksel

"Silver and Gold includes works by Robert Vance, P.M. Batchelder, William Shew, Frederick Coombs, and W.H. Rulofson - images of native Californians and those who shared the land with them, memorable images of the men and women who sought their fortunes in the gold fields. Photographs from the mining communities reflect the miners' rough houses, sunburned faces, and makeshift clothes, capturing the isolation and determination of people working under difficult conditions far from home."-- back cover.
