Description
A scarce piece of California-themed holiday ephemera: a folded “Seasons Greetings” card from Antoinette (“Toni”) and Warren Howell, well-known in the San Francisco antiquarian book trade and associated with John Howell-Books. The card features a dramatic color reproduction of Charles C. (Christian) Nahl’s Western scene “The Pursuit of Joaquin Murieta” (1868), with an interior caption that identifies the artwork, medium (oil on canvas), and original canvas size-making this a strong crossover collectible for California history, Gold Rush-era lore, and fine-art paper ephemera.
