4.9/5 (26402 ratings)

Description:The book exhibits the work of Edward Vischer, a San Francisco businessman who became perhaps the best early California artist to have his works turned into important American plate books.Vischer immigrated to Mexico from Germany when he was just nineteen to work for the commercial house Heinrich Virmond. From there he traveled to California in 1842, where he fell in love with the area and its scenery. He returned again to California in 1847 to work as a merchant and agent for foreign companies in San Francisco and stayed there for the Gold Rush. As a serious pastime, the amateur artist Vischer "took up the long-neglected pencil" making sketches of the natural wonders he encountered. In 1859 and 1861 he visited the Calaveras Grove of Big Trees and began producing sketches and finished drawings based on personal observation. Vischer returned many times to the groves of the Sequoia Gigantea Sempervirens and so was inspired to bring the majesty of the trees to a wider audience.We have made it easy for you to find a PDF Ebooks without any digging.
