This extraordinarily comprehensive, well-documented, biographical dictionary of some 1,500 photographers (and workers engaged in photographically related pursuits) active in western North America before 1865 is enriched by some 250 illustrations. Far from being simply a reference tool, the book provides a rich trove of fascinating narratives that cover both the professional and personal lives of a colorful cast of characters.

A book of fine-art photography featuring the visual history of California. A Country Called California traces the development of the Golden State from the nineteenth century on, through to its emergence as the fifth largest economy in the world—all as seen through the eyes of photographers whose names are synonymous with fine art photography: Carleton E. Watkins, Dorothea Lange, Eadward Muybridge, Will Connell, Edward Weston, Max Yavno, A.C. Vroman, Mabel Watson, and many more. Author Stephen White, a longtime photography gallerist and collector, has curated the book to perfection, capturing the California that is its own country, the light that has captivated every photographer's eye.

The William Mason photographs of Little Tokyo, Los Angeles comprise aprroximately 500 negatives and 162 photographic prints showing the streets and people of Little Tokyo between 1963 and 1968. William M. Mason (1931-2000) was a long-time curator of Southern California history at the Los Angeles County Museum of Natural History. Mason was an expert on the multi-ethnic history of Los Angeles who did much to highlight the role of different ethnic groups in shaping the city's development in the nineteenth century and beyond. He curated several special museum exhibitions to illustrate Los Angeles' multi-ethnic character, among them "The Blacks of Los Angeles," "The Japanese of Los Angeles," and "The Chinese of Los Angeles." He also had a passion for photography and spent many happy hours wandering the streets of L.A. with his camera, talking to people, and documenting the city's ethnic enclaves. One such enclave, Little Tokyo, is now home to the largest Japanese-American population in the United States. Founded around the beginning of the twentieth century and developed in part because of discriminatory laws that limited where Japanese Americans could live and work, the neighborhood became a dynamic economic and cultural hub. The photographs in this collection include street scenes, shots from at least one Nisei Week Japanese Festival, and striking portraits of women in traditional Japanese dress. A predominant subject of these photographs is Little Tokyo's businesses and commercial activity, including images of storefronts, signage, and construction work. These photographs offer valuable documentation of the mid-1960s appearance of this ethnic enclave which -- like much of Los Angeles -- has changed tremendously over the past half-century.
