Many notable figures from California's pre-statehood and early statehood days are featured: Sir Francis Drake, the earliestAnglo to set foot on California soil; Patrick Breen and Eliza Donner from the ill-fated Donner Party; frontiersman Kit Carson,John Sutter, Lola Montez, and many others. Writers who were either born and raised in the state or who spent significantperiods of time in California are included: traditional chroniclers of Western experience (Bret Harte and Jack London),modernists (Gertrude Stein), Beats (Jack Kerouac and Allen Ginsberg), and even a few Pulitzer prize winners (John Steinbeckand William Saroyan). Other figures from the arts include dancer Isadora Duncan, actress Lotta Crabtree, andphotographers Ansel Adams and Eadweard Muybridge. Politicians include many of the state's governors (includingpre-statehood Mexican governors), senators, and congressmen. California's wealthy and powerful families are representedby the likes of Leland Stanford, the Hearsts, and the Spreckels.The collection contains the work of many photographers, including I. W. Taber, Ansel Adams, Edward Weston, Carleton E.Watkins, Moulin Studios, Thomas Houseworth & Co., Bradley & Rulofson, William Shew, Peter Stackpole, Francis P.Farquhar, Johan Hagemeyer, William Keith, F. Gutekunst, Charles McMillan, Silas Selleck, Thors (San Francisco), Stewart &Skelton Studios, Schumacher Portraits, Ken McLaughlin, Sarony & Co., Hirsch & Kaye (San Francisco), and others.Captions printed or handwritten on the photographs are reprinted in the container listing. Photograph numbers are thenumbers assigned in the Portrait Collection. Users should always use these identification numbers when citing or requestingoriginals. Biographical notes on each individual accompany that individual's set of portraits in the container listing.A Few Words About the Portrait Collection and the Selection ProcessThe Bancroft Library Portrait Collection is, archivally speaking, an "artificial" collection in that it is not provenance-based.For many years it was a convenient storage system for miscellaneous pictorial items acquired by the library. And, for manyyears, individual items were removed from larger collections and placed in this alphabetical collection. (This practice nolonger occurs.) The Portrait Collection does not represent the library's complete holdings on any single person. Libraryusers should always consult the on-line catalog for additional holdings.The selection of individuals in California Faces is by no means exhaustive. Portrait selection was not based on eachindividual's perceived importance, but on the quality and number of portraits in The Bancroft Library's holdings. For someindividuals, the portraits presented in this selection may be the only holdings in the Portrait Collection. And, manyimportant figures may not be represented in California Faces simply because the library had no holdings in the PortraitCollection for that individual (although there may be holdings in other collections in the library). It should also be noted thatduring the course of selection, the focus and manner of the portrait selection changed. The original aim was to present afull sampling of the library's holdings for a smaller number of individuals. It was eventually decided to select a broaderrange of subjects with minimum representation of each. This accounts for the high number of portraits selected for JackLondon, Earl Warren, Pat Brown, John Muir, and a few other individuals.Sources of Biographical Information:Angelo J.
