Edward Vischer & His "Pictorial of California"
Vischer was a German who went to South America as a businessman. While there he offered hospitality to Charles Darwin. He moved later to California during the Gold Rush for business. He took up sketching scenes of his travels. He planned Pictorial of California to be a series of 60 landscape views, later expanded to over 100. Mariano Vallejo urged him to add views of the presidios to those of the missions.
