This rare vintage 1930s orange crate label offers a gold-framed view onto a Southern California agricultural valley at sunrise with a blazing sun beaming over a distant mountain range and foothills. In the foreground are pink and blue morning glory blossoms on a vine beside a perfect ripe orange. The valley floor is covered with orange orchards, the trees planted in neat rows under a glowing orange sky.

Hans BURKHARDT Original Pastel Painting Framed Abstract Expressionism California
An electrifying painting by the listed California master painter Hans Burkhardt (1904 – 1994). Originally born in Switzerland, the artist emigrated to New York at the age of twenty. While in NYC, Burkhardt became one of the cutting edge pioneers of the New York school with De Kooning and Gorky. In 1937, the artist moved to the Los Angeles area which would become his home for the remainder of his life. Many believe that Burkhardt created some of the most powerful examples of abstract expressionism. Most coveted are his pastel paintings of abstract figures done during the 1960s. His works are in the permanent collections of many museums including the Guggenheim, The Whitney, Hirshhorn, Legion of Honor in San Francisco, and the Los Angeles County Museum of Art (LACMA). He retired as a professor emeritus of art at Cal State Northridge. The master artist passed away in Los Angeles, California, in 1994. Image size is approximately 16.5 inches by 22 inches. Original signature, bottom center, along with the date of 65. Done in pastels on paper. Framed dimensions are approximately 22.50 inches by 28.50 inches. Professionally framed, cloth mat and red inner liner; and. Plexi glass protects the image. Colors are vibrant and unfaded. You will not be disappointed in this powerful work. Rarely are original paintings by this artist found on the secondary market at a reasonable price. The frame and cloth mat are likely original to the painting and show their ages. Frame has a number of scuffs, nicks and scratches. Original backing paper still primarily intact though tears in places. The artwork has not been examined out of its frame. There is no reserve price. The boxed dimensions are 28 inches by 36 inches by 5.5 inches. Weight is 12.5 lbs. Thank you for considering this item!

ANNUAL REPORT of California SURVEYOR-GENERAL 1863 Post Gold Rush County Reports. TITLE: Annual Report of the Surveyor-General of the State of California for The Year 1862. Houghton, Surveyor-General of California, et al. PUBLISHER: Sacramento, California: Benjamin P. DESCRIPTION: 148 pages, folding chart. CONDITION NOTES: VERY GOOD. Some peeling to spine. Pages clean, except for a couple of pages with light foxing. Chart properly folded with a small stub tear. Want to see the mother of all land rushes underway? Read the reports from the various California county surveyors touting their bounty, counting their cattle, and bickering over boundaries (in the two appendices). A report to Leland Stanford, Governor of California in the 12th year of statehood, compiled from correspondence by county surveyors and assessors, as well as state civil engineers. State and County Boundaries. Canals, and Drainage of the Sacramento Valley. An additional report on Irrigation by Civil Engineer Calvin Brown serves to detail the growing realization of the state’s unique climate, and its unusual dependence on seasonal water flow for agricultural abundance in the absence of a cold winter. Reports on Railway construction and Flood mitigation round out the statewide portion. Inally, two appendices include reports by each county’s surveyor and assessor giving insight into the state’s resources and the degree to which agriculture has progressed and survey/boundary issues have been resolved… Very readable and fascinating. Each county official was required by state law to report, but some submitted a short, very subjective descriptive letter, and others submitted full tables of statistics. Others, such as Los Angeles, San Diego, and San Bernardino submitted no letters, though some of their data appears on statewide tabulations. San Diego’s data appears nowhere. Is this a wartime measure, or is it a matter of insignificant population or agricultural yield that keep the Southern counties out of the Surveyor-General’s report?

Flavorite Brand VINTAGE San Fernando, California Orange Crate Label 1930 Genuine
This uncommon vintage 1930 orange crate label depicts two fairies with butterfly wings injecting flavor into oranges growing in a grove of trees at nighttime against a backdrop of fireflies. “Flavorite” is obviously a combination of “flavor” and “favorite”. Some of the new labels that emerged in the Advertising Age of California Orange Crate Labels (1920 – 1935) reflected the Art Deco design movement. At its best, this art treatment created a feeling of modern elegance. On labels of the 1920s and early 1930s, it was combined with innovative color treatments made possible because of the development of new printing ink formulations and sophisticated printing registration techniques. The result was a succession of attractive new label designs such as Flavorite. Through its use of stylized imagery Flavorite successfully conveys its advertising message by using an unusual design theme and color treatment in conjunction with a prominent display of oranges as an integral part of the design.

Los Angeles, Los Angeles County, CA The packing house of American Fruit Growers was at 2160 East Seventh Street, Los Angeles.
