The types are Cristal from Deberny & Peignot, Paris, and Van Dijck composed by Mackenzie & Harris, Inc. The papers are Tweedweave and Colophon text from the Butler Paper Company." This pamphlet contains a facsimile broadside that was originally published by Dembour & Gangel around 1850. The Introduction by Joseph M. Bransten and Adrian Wilson explains the provenance of the facsimile, "During 1973 an exhibition from the Department of Prints and Drawings at the Bibliotheque Nationale of Paris was held at the California Palace of the Legion of Honor in San Francisco. Joseph M. Bransten, a member of the Roxburghe Club, took particular delight in a colorful broadside titled Mine d'Or de la Californie which gave a distinctly French view of life and mining in this region in 1850. He conceived the idea that it might be reproduced, with a translation, for the 1974 joint meeting of the Roxburghe and Zamorano Clubs. He asked his fellow-Roxburgher Adrian Wilson if he would secure permission to reproduce it during the latter's research summer in Europe. . Joyce Lancaster Wilson translated it without any recognition of the strange faraway land it described. At home in Tuscany Alley she and Melissa Wilson added the coloring to the picture." The broadside describes some of California's geography, history, and its gold mines during the Gold Rush. The facsimile is followed by the English translation.
