Two pages from "Gleason's Pictorial Drawing Room Companion," 1854. One page contains the article "Scenes at the Gold Diggings," accompanied by five images of California miners in their tents, weighing gold, preparing meals, and washing their clothing. The other page features poetry and the beginnings of a short story. With creased corners and very light soiling, the condition is good.
