About This Item

Contemporary ownership inscription on front wrapper. Plates separating at folds. Even tanning, scattered foxing. Scarce, 1886 promotional pamphlet for San Joaquin County and its county seat of Stockton, "Addressed particularly to the stranger who wishes to know in what portion of California he may find combined those advantages in climate, location and soil, that would determine the fixing of his new home." The pamphlets contains two maps, one double-page color map of the county by soil type, chromolithographed by Britton and Rey, the other a folding map of rail routes and connections of the Sierra Nevada & San Joaquin Railroad. The verso of this plate depicts the county exhibit at the 1886 California State Fair. The text itself is quite extensive, with a focus soil and agriculture; numerous local advertisements throughout.
