Gene Bauer collection of botanical prints and ephemera
Visual Materials
A collection of 28 booklets and envelopes created from July 1972 to May 1974 by artist and horticulturist Gene Bauer. The booklets were produced monthly to highlight native California plants and were mailed to members from the California Garden Club, Inc.'s 26 districts. Bauer selected plants by visiting public gardens throughout California and emphasized a plant for each region represented by members of the Club. The booklets in this collection were all addressed to Elaine Conze (1912-2008), member of California Garden Club, Inc., and former president of the Gardeneers Garden Club in Palos Verdes, California. The booklets feature Bauer's screenprints with varying designs and angles of plants on the covers, interior pages, and accompanying envelopes. Bauer originally drew colored pencil sketches of the plants, then hand-screened them. The cover pages of Bauer's booklets are signed and include a screen print on cardstock, with illustrations inside the interior images screen printed on colorful tissue paper. She mailed the envelopes through the United States Postal Office and adorned them with screen print images and pictorial stamps. Some plants, trees, shrubs, and flowers depicted range from unique species of lilies, buckwheat, and maple trees, to poppies, palm trees, fir trees, and other plants all native to California. The versos of the booklets include the edition numbers of printed booklets made, with Elaine Conze often receiving the 18th or 19th edition of the total series. Textually, the booklets include poetry, essays, and messages from Bauer, a state map identifying locations of plant growth, and historical information about the plant species and habitats.
