Description
Excerpt from On Sunset Highways: A Book of Motor Rambles in California
XIII TO beautiful clear lake valley the netherlands OF california A chapter OF odds and ends our run TO yosemite XVII lake tahoeg N making acknowledgment to the photographers through whose courtesy I am able to present the beautiful monotones of California''s scenery and historic missions, I can only say that I think that the artistic beauty and sentiment evinced in every one of these pictures entitles Its author to be styled artist as well as photographer. These enthusiastic Californians - Dassonville, Pillsbury, Putnam, and Taylor - are thoroughly in love with their work and every photo graph they take has the merits of an original composition. I had the privilege of selecting, from many thousands, the examples shown in this book and while I doubt if thirty-two pictures of higher average could be found, it must not be forgotten that these artists have hundreds of other delightful views that would grace any collection. I heartily recommend any reader of the book to visit these studios if he desires appropriate and enduring mementos of California''s scenic beauty.
