To date, all the exhibitions in the Bancroft Gallery have centered on a dominant or cluster of themes—Hubert Howe Bancroft as collector in Bancroft to the Core; migration in California Crossings: Stories of Migration, Relocation and New Encounters; California agriculture in The Colors of California Agriculture, which featured the donation of the Peter Goin and Paul F. Starrs Archive. The images in these exhibitions, whatever the medium, were buttressed with contextualizing documents such as letters, diaries, books, pamphlets, official proclama- tions, maps and the like. Our exhibitions have been emblematic of the scope, depth, and variety of collections in Bancroft. California Captured on Canvas, by contrast, is an exhibition that relies exclusively on the power of images to convey stories, describe places, portray individuals, and record events. Designer Gordon Chun, Bancroft Director Elaine Tennant, and I spent time reviewing the paintings hanging on racks in Bancroft’s stacks. Tennant spot- ted several paintings from the collection that had rarely been exhibited. One of her favorites is Augustus John’s vibrant portrait of San Francisco tennis legend Helen Wills, winner of eight Wimbledon singles titles and founding benefactor of the Helen Wills Neurosci- ence Institute at UC Berkeley.

Continued from page 1 Pictorial Collection. Some of the paintings chosen for the exhibition were in dire need of professional conservation and restoration which is time consuming and delicate work. It is also expensive. Funds from the Sophie McFarland Endow- ment were used for the conservation of fifteen paintings; and Bay Area residents Jeanne McKee and Andrea Rothe, two of the finest conservation specialists in the U.S., came to the rescue. We all agreed that this exhibition needed to be welcoming and bright, which resulted in the exclusion of all works on paper. Photographs, manuscripts, printed matter, and other works on paper all need to be displayed under lower than normal lighting. Only oil paintings can with- stand higher levels of light. It comes as no surprise that much of the visual power of the Pictorial Collection resides in its numerous depictions of California. Captured on Canvas has the interesting hom- onymic association with “canvass.” H. H. Bancroft placed an advertisement for men to canvass the state in search of interview subjects for his dictations (oral histories, testimo- nios). Ultimately, the “art” of curation boils down to what can be fitted into the physical framework of the exhibition space. The designer—in our case Gordon Chun—provides not only a much-needed reality check for the curator, but also brings to bear his special intelligence and magic that breathe life into an exhibition that stays within budget and opens on time. Many of the paintings in Bancroft are retrospective cre- ations—this is especially true of the art related to the Gold Rush, which is visualized in many representations that were created long after the fact. Paintings such as Ernest Narjot’s nostalgic Days of Gold from 1884 were intended to adorn the Ernest Narjot (1826-1898) Days of Gold, 1884 BANC PIC 1963.002:1377—FR. walls of mansions belonging to those who had made their iconic paintings by William Keith, Charles Christian Nahl, fortunes from the commercial opportunities the Gold Rush and many other significant artists from the Honeyman Col- unleashed. Looking at these paintings now is akin to our lection. Curating an exhibition is both an act of inclusion and exclusion. It is an attempt to create order out of the chaos of seemingly unlimited choices and to find relationships among diverse objects, all of which one hopes will enlighten and delight the viewer. The deciding factors that influenced the choices for the exhibit were the physical condition of the work and the requirement to produce a viewer-friendly

It is easy to fall prey to the lure of nostalgia and suc- cumb to the longing for the so-called good old days. But a close look at some of these painted and framed illusions of the Golden State may cause you to wonder if you would want to live in a landscape where tree stumps and smoke were generally taken to be signs of progress and civilization. Alexander Edouart’s Blessing of the Enrequita Mine from 1860 is a tour de force of painterly reportage. This painting describes almost photographically the assembled mine workers kneeling in front of a makeshift altar as the mine owners stand at the periphery; and amidst the festivities, the only evidence of the workings of a mercury mine is the jet of steam at the lower right of the painting. The tree stumps above the mine bear mute witness to the La Grange Mining Co., Weaverville, Trinity County, California [1870s] BANC PIC 1963.002:1379—FR. exploitation and future despoliation of the land. for the inexorable demise of an aboriginal culture.

We did so even though their existence had been known to us since at least 1949, and even though we had acquired fuzzy xeroxes of them as early as 1987. They are copyrighted chromo- lithographs (artist unknown), part of a series of postcards which today is collected for its own sake (each card has a unique number, like 2002 or 2010, not visible in the xerox, and according to Windle, one of them is extremely rare). All four were postmarked from Kens- ington, a suburb of London, on June 15, 1899. So it appears to have taken them some 115 years to arrive at The Bancroft Library—very likely because they were not addressed to us, but to Mark Twain’s second daughter, Clara, who had just turned 25. She, her father, mother, and sister Jean had all just recently moved to London from Vienna and had taken rooms at the Prince of Broadstairs, where they had gone for her brief illness, the stressful move Wales Hotel in De Vere Gardens, Kens- a week.

wonders, she knew! He asked that question not because any of the letters was actually signed Clemens—they were signed “Sam” or “Papa” or (as we have seen) “Nansen” or “H. M. Stan- ley” and other names—but because on a few of the envelopes he remembered seeing a small printed message in the upper left corner: “If not delivered within five days, please return to S. L. Clemens.” It was by that perilously thin margin that their destruction was prevented. Long story short, the letters, including our postcards, were sold at two Christie’s auctions in 1987 for about $300,000. The cards were purchased by a collector named John Feldman, who in 1990 sold them to another collector named Victor Jacobs, whose collection was auctioned off Probably there is some detail of he would sell them for the value of the after his death in October 1996, but family life which, if we were privy to it, stamps! the cards themselves failed to sell would explain the nature of these “re- That is how they came into the (lacking Mark Twain’s signature they sponses” more clearly—but so far that hands of Clifford M.

We didn’t learn until 1987 that they had been separately sold just one year before, along with about 100 other family letters, to Vivian and Rusty Westcoatt, who bought the Samos- souds’ large Hollywood house in 1951. The Westcoatts seem to have stored their 100 letters in a closet until, in 1985, the wife died and the husband grew too feeble to manage alone, at which point the lawyers were called in. They found an enormous house literally stuffed from floor to ceiling with waste paper. While clearing that out, the lawyer in charge found a shoebox with those 100 letters, and had a bright idea:
