Visual Materials
This collection contains 152 photographs of the family of Leonard John Rose (1827-1899), the Rose family's ranch and vineyard "Sunny Slope" in San Gabriel, California, their residences, and horses owned by the family, chiefly dating from the late 19th century. Many of the photographs are cabinet card studio portraits of family members, especially the children of L. J. and Amanda Rose, including Nina Rose Wachtel (and her husband John V. Wachtel), Guy Rose, Mabel Rose Dixon, Maud Rose Easton. Many of the card photographs have imprints of Los Angeles photography studios including Steckel & Lamson and T.G. Schumacher. Among the photographs of the Sunny Slope Farm are stereographs by W.M. Godfrey (Volume 1, Items 13a and 14-14a) and stereographs and unmounted prints by Carleton Watkins (Album 1, Items 17-29 and 75 and 76).
