EDITORS COMMENTS
This 19th-century print titled "Pub 'The Fortune, Company of the Gold Mines of California'" takes us back to the exhilarating days of the gold rush. Created by an unknown artist and now part of a private collection, this image was originally published in "The Charivari" on June 25,1850. In this scene, we witness two determined gold diggers immersed in their work within washing machines. The artist skillfully captures their intense focus as they blend gold with water and soil. Their faces reveal both exhaustion and hope—a testament to the arduous nature of their endeavor. The print transports us to a time when dreams were forged from glimmers of precious metal. It serves as a reminder that during the California Gold Rush, countless individuals risked everything for a chance at striking it rich. Leonard de Selva's expert photography brings out every intricate detail in this historical artwork. Through his lens, we can appreciate not only the craftsmanship but also gain insight into the lives and struggles faced by those who sought fortune amidst rugged landscapes.
