Rare Suite of California Wood EngravingsA panorama of California history from prehistoric times through the beginning of air travel, through a series of fine wood engravings by a noted California artist. The images evoke the romance of California history through a visual chronicle of major events from the time of the La Brea Tar Pits to the advent of air travel. Each engraving is titled and signed (in pencil) by Goodchild.This is Goodchild's first book. Published under the obscure private press imprint of Bark N' Rags. Goodchild was born in San Luis Obispo in 1901. By 1932 he was living in Southern California, having settled in Glendale. He died in 1983.Victoria Dailey has written on California books illustrated with original woodblocks, though she seems to have overlooked Goodchild's California Milestones:The woodcut became the preferred medium of most California graphic artists, as it united several theoretical and stylistic currents of the time. - Dailey, The Illustrated Book in California 1905-1940, The Journal of Decorative and Propaganda Arts, Winter, 1988, Vol. 7 (Winter, 1988), pages 72-87.Paul Landacre was the giant in the field of Califorina wood engravers, though the first few decades of the 20th-century saw a fair number of other talents, which Dailey covers in her excellent article. Goodchild's work is somewhat evocative of that of Prescott Chaplin, who also illustrated several books with black-and-white woodcuts, including: 25 Woodcuts and Mexicans (both from 1930).A selection of the wood engravings:La Brea PitsCame the Ice Age [wild horses]Dark Age PictographThe Aborigines [coast scene of California Native Americans]Arrival of Hwui Shan 500 A.D.Landing of Cabrillo in California 1542Capture of a GalleonJunipero Serra.San Diego de AlcalaMission San Carlos Boromeo 1770Mission San Luis Obispo de Tolosa 1772Anza Crossing the Desert 1774Mission Santa Barbara 1786Mission San Francisco de Solano 1823Hides and TallowA Barbecue.…
