Description
California Faces consists of 1,232 photographic and other pictorial
portraits of 416 men and women prominent in California's history. The portraits, selected
from The Bancroft Library Portrait Collection, offer a diverse selection of artists,
writers, businessmen, politicians, scientists, entertainers, and others, primarily from
the early nineteenth-century until the present. Individuals from the San Francisco Bay
Area tend to predominate since the library's holdings are strongest in this area.
