The San Jacinto right-lateral strike-slip fault zone is crucial for understanding plate-boundary dynamics, regional slip partitioning, and seismic hazards within the San Andreas fault system of southern California, yet its age of initiation and long-term average slip rate are controversial. This synthesis of prior and new detailed studies in the western Salton Trough documents initiation of structural segments of the San Jacinto fault zone at or slightly before the 1.07 Ma base of the Jaramillo subchron. In Special Paper 475, five new estimates of displacement are developed using offset successions of crystalline rocks; distinctive marker beds in the late Cenozoic basin fill; analysis of strike-sliprelated fault-bend folds; quantification of strain in folds at the tips of dextral faults; and gravity, magnetic, and geomorphic data sets.

Paper photography from this era is a rarity and the image was created by two of America s great photographic pioneers, the Langenheim brothers. A calotype (or talbotype) is a negative-positive photographic process in which a paper negative is produced and then used to make a positive print using exposure to light. It was introduced by William Henry Fox Talbot, from whom the brothers had obtained the rights to the process, soon after Daguerre s advancement in France. The Langenheim brothers were some of the first entrepreneurs to utilize the calotype process in America. They began creating their own photographic images and revolutionizing the field of American photography soon after the process s invention. In 1842 they made the first advertising photograph in history, a picture of the restaurant in the Exchange Building in Philadelphia (Pennsylvania Arts and Sciences Society, 1940) and [i]n 1845 the brothers traveled to Niagara Falls where they made the first ever photographs of the natural wonder (Metropolitan Museum of Art, 2017). The pair were among the first to commercially produce stereoscopic images in America, helping introduce the American public to an immensely influential photographic media. The brothers were also responsible for the first photographs in America of a total solar eclipse. American paper photographs of this quality and early date are rare in private hands. This is an opportunity to obtain an important example of American photographic history. Calotype (5 3⁄8 x 8 3⁄8 in.), mounted (14 x 17 in.). Some fading.
