Four Vignettes: A Sundays Amusements; A Daily Pleasure; Occupation for Rainy Days; A Pleasant Surprise. -- [San Francisco]: Britton & Rey [white wove copy] -- San Francisco; 9 x 12 -- on white paper, by Britton & Rey. "I have frequently done all that is represented there, except finding a grizzly bear in my tent, sitting in a chair before the fire, warming his paws and smoking a pipe." Although many letter sheets illustrate a humorous attitude towards life in the mines, the difficulty and hard labor of the miner's life can be seen in the grim expressions pictured in these scenes”. No. 23 up in right top corner. This is similar to the Baird example [p147, #268]. Baird shows three varieties, one by Quirot. Another by Britten & Rey "Lith & Published by Britten & Rey corn'r Montgomery & California Sts. S. - Francisco." This is the third variety. 2 found in private hands and 6 in institutions. Tears and rips right. One small chip left.
