Celebrate Days of ‘49. 1922.
Harkening back to the California gold rush, this exhibition paid tribute to James Marshall’s first gold discovery in 1848. The city of Sacramento constructed a life-sized mining town and held a parade and costume contests. This anonymous artist portrays a 19th century miner overlooking the contemporary landscape of the city below.
