COVER: The Robert H. Vance daguerrean gallery in San Francisco where C.L. Weed exhibited his Yosemite views. Weed owned (or at least controlled) this establishment from 1861 until about 1863. This photo is the right half of a stereo made by C.L. Weed in 1859. It was published by E. Anthony as No. 53 "Mont- gomery Street, San Francisco." Turn the page for Peter E.

Another admirer of Weed's landscape photography was the editor of Hutchings' California Magazine, James M. Hutchings. In June 1859, Weed accompanied Hut- chings to Yosemite. Mary V. Hood, a chronicler of Weed's activities in Yosemite, explains: In 1859, Messrs. Hite & Beardsley opened the first two-story hotel in Yosemite. To publicize this ven- ture they invited James M. Hut- chings to bring a party of friends for the grand opening. He was to obtain copy for a series of articles in Hutchings' California Magazine. Also, as part of the promotion, Robert Vance of San Francisco sent his associate, Charles L. Weed, to take a "Y osemite Panorama." These 10" x 14" photographs were to be added to the firm's stock and to provide a basis for the very faithful engravings by Thomas Armstrong in Hutchings' five ar- ticles (on Yosemite). . . ' The Hutchings' party reached Yosemite on June 17th, 1859. Although Hutchings later wrote copiously concerning the journey he fails to mention Weed by name. He does, however, refer to the photographer's apparatus: An engraving in Hutchings' California Magazine taken from Weed's 1859 views The reader would have laughed of Yosemite.
