San Francisco Chronicle Annual Calendar “A Half Century of Progress.” Calendar and black and white lithographs by “Langguth” on obverse. The reverse has lithograph of lightly shaded monotone colors and red title reading “The San Francisco Chronicles Annual 1897” Second, a cherub lithograph in exuberant colors with a reverse of large advertisements. The most pronounced ad is for “William Radam’s Microbe Killer” endorsed as the “greatest remedy of the age, cures disease by removing the cause… microbes.” Likewise, there are ads for various hotels, services, utilities and goods. Some include small vignettes of the product. Both pages measure 23” x 17” and have an obverse and reverse. All colors used in the lithographs are in blissful condition and bear delicate texture and shading. Print and fonts are in equally superb condition. Minor separations along crease lines and small tears on bottom edge of both: does not obstruct the images or advertisements. Good. Burger Collection
