British Parliament 1925 Vintage Lithograph

Beautiful California in 1914

A Placer Hydraulic Mine

(Remember these prints show scenes as they looked more than century ago.)

California hydraulic mining exploited gravel deposits, making it a form of placer mining. Early placer miners in California discovered that the more gravel they could process, the more gold they were likely to find. ... Hydraulic mining became the largest-scale, and most devastating, form of placer mining.

The Nature of Prints & Engravings: It was not until the 20th century that prints were commonly produced for the print itself. Prior to this, virtually all prints (and engravings) were produced as illustrations to be included in a manuscript, book, newspaper, or pamphlet. Therefore, a vast majority of original prints have been over the years removed from these original sources. Prints are produced using many different techniques: relief printing (woodcut & wood engraving), intaglio printing (steel & copper plate engraving, drypoint, aquatint, etc), and planographic printing (lithography, serigraphy, inkjet, laser, etc.). While the commercial value of a print depends on such factors as age, rarity, and condition, the real value of a print is its tie to its history and/or its esthetic beauty.
