A cabinet card photograph of James W. Marshall, the man responsible for discovering California's gold deposits and triggering the California Gold Rush. The reverse side of the photo bears the stamp of George D. Stewart, a Sacramento photographer who captured California throughout the late Gold Rush. The photograph likely originates from the 1860s or 1870s based on Marshall's age. It is mounted on a stiff card with a brief, handwritten description of Marshall's claim to fame. The contrast of the photo is low, but it is of clear quality and in good condition. [ California
