Includes essays by Arthur Miilier (The Art Temperaments of Northern and Southern California Compared-reprinted from 1927), Joseph Armstrong Baird Jr. (Collecting California Art: An Interpretive Essay), and Nancy Dustin Wall Moure (California Art, North and South). Includes a six-page bibliography, and an eight-page index. Each picture is annotated and it's acquisition described, as well as any research done by the collectors. The collection and the majority (1200) copies of this book were destroyed in the Oakland fires, making this book all the more critical as a lasting record of these paintings.
