Abstract: On the right side of the sheet are scenes of California's Gold Rush past, including migration, prospecting, and men disembarking from a sailing ship; on the left are scenes of the state's increasingly settled present, including a stagecoach, agriculture, a public school, and a crowded steamship at a crowded dock. An incongruous elephant in the top center may be a reference to the phrase "seeing the elephant" about overcoming hardship
