The First Large Scale View of Santa Barbara
Rare early two-stone lithographed view of Santa Barbara, drawn and published by E.S. Glover and printed in San Francisco by A.L. Bancroft & Co., lithographers.
Published in 1877, Glover's view of Santa Barbara is the earliest large-scale printed view of the city, pre-dated only by a much smaller view (16 x 9 inches) by A.E. Mathews in 1873.
In 1876 and '77, Glover and his wife lived in Los Angeles and Eli focused on views of California cities, including Los Angeles, San Diego, and others.
Rarity
The view is extremely rare on the market. Other than an example that we offered in 2019, the last example of the view we can locate is the Amon Carter Brown Museum example, which was offered for sale by Midland Books in 1967 (colorized).
Reps (388) locates examples in the Library of Congress, UC Berkeley Bancroft Library, California State Library, Santa Barbara Historical Society, Huntington Library, Amon Carter Brown Museum, and the Oakland Museum.
