Visual Materials
A two-color lithograph depicting a view of Columbia in Tuolumne County, California set during the Gold Rush. The foreground of the central image includes factories, a horse-drawn wagon driving across town, and miners working in flumes, depicted against a view of town buildings with hilly landscape in the background. Twelve vignettes of building facades surround the central image; includes views of storefronts, churches, government buildings, hotels, and banks. Townsfolk and individuals on horses and horse-drawn wagons are illustrated in front of the building facades. The title is printed in the lower center of the image. The text below the title reads, "Published by Towle & Leavitt. Columbia, Tuolumne County, Cal." Printed signatures on the lower half of print from left to right read, "From nature on stone by Kuchel & Dresel, 146 Clay St. S.F."; "Entered according to Act of Congress in the year 1855 by Kuchel & Dresel in the Clerk's Office of District Court of the Northern District of Cal."; and "Printed by Britton & Rey."
