Leonard J. Rose Family Photograph Collection

Visual Materials

The collection consists of 152 photographs of the family of Leonard John Rose (1827-1899); the Rose family ranch and vineyard, "Sunny Slope," in San Gabriel, California; residences; and horses owned by the Rose family, chiefly dating from the late 19th century. An earlier archivist divided the collection into "volumes" 1 and 2, though the photographs in "volume 1" are loose. Only volume 2, Items 1-35, are bound in an album. The prints range from late 19th-century cabinet cards to copy prints of 19th century photographs. The latest photographs are two 1979 color snapshots of Mrs. John Gallagher, and among the earliest images is a reproduction of a portrait of L. J. and Amanda Rose on their wedding day, ca. 1850 (Volume 2, Item 7). 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). Notably, there are three photographs of interiors of the Rose residence on Grand Avenue in Los Angeles, which include displays of the types of card photographs included in this collection (see Volume 1, Items 48 and 50, and Volume 2, Item 49).
