Unidentified painting record FFSu0587


[no photo] Old Baldy

Date: 1886
Citations: San Franciscan 17 April 1886
Description: "...a rough sketch of "old baldy," the highest peak of the San Bernadino (sic) range, whose summit, clad with snow, after its wont in winter, is seen through an avenue of orange trees laden with golden fruit." (From the San Franciscan.)
Note: Based on the above description, this is almost certainly a painting different from Old Baldy near Los Angeles, which is a view up a river valley with conifer, rather than orange, trees.
