History on a plate
I had totally forgotten about these plates which I found in a charity shop ages ago.
They have fabulous historic views of Sacramento City in California, probably from the mid 19th century. The details are amazing. Sacramento City became important during the Californian gold rush.
There actually was an Eagle Theatre founded in 1849 - the first permanent theatre in California and situated at 925 Front Street. Could this be it?
I wonder if this steamboat is the George Washington, which had a regular run from Sacramento to San Francisco?
These plates are part of the series "Historic America" by Johnson Brothers, England.
