About This Item
San Francisco: California Fig Syrup Co., [c. 1890]. Eight-panel promotional brochure for this San Francisco-based laxative company. 14 1/4 x 5 3/8 inches (folding down to 3 1/2 x 5 3/8 inches). While full of fascinating hyperbole of the time this item is chiefly of interest for its illustrations. On the rectos are four chromolithographs; a robed woman plucking figs, two views of the coast of California and a fine color view of Yosemite Falls. The illustrations on the verso are all monochrome and include the Big Tree, Mariposa Grove; Mount Shasta; Lick Observatory and the Santa Barbara Mission.
