"A scarce map, printed in 1878 by African-American artist, lithographer, and businessman Grafton Tyler Brown (1841-1918) depicting Berkeley, Oakland and Alameda. The map depicts much of the developed portions of those areas, with individual lots shown and numbered and many landowners identified. ... Brown ... is the earliest acknowledged African-American artist to paint landscapes of the Pacific Northwest and California. Born in Harrisburg, Pennsylvania, the son of a freed slave (involved in the abolitionist movement), Grafton Tyler Brown began as a printer's assistant in Philadelphia (at age fourteen), where he learned lithography. In the 1860s he moved to San Francisco, and joined the San Francisco lithography firm of Kuchel and Dresel (in 1861), where he produced views of California cities and mining towns. He later purchased the business (circa 1867), which became G. T. Brown and Co., working as a lithographer, printer, surveyor (for property transactions) and cartographer (documenting city boundaries), publisher of topographical images of the San Francisco Bay Area..."--From bookseller's description.
