This work is Remondino's love letter to Southern California, where he was lured in the 1870s by some booster pieces. He immediately took to the area and began to tout the mild climate - that reminded him of his native home in Northern Italy. This book also offers enticing illustrations of many scenic locations in Southern California, including beaches, missions, resorts, and orange groves. Cowan p. 529. Zamorano Select 93.
