One large panoramic photocrom sized 14.25 x 42.5 in., mounted behind original 22 x 50 in. mat, with original 27.5 x 55 in. quarter-sawn oak frame, w/ original engraved brass plaque sized 1 x 4.5 in affixed to lower fore-edge, retaining original glass. A superb example of this large photochrom panorama of the historic Gothic Revival Hotel Del Monte after it had been rebuilt in 1888 following a tragic fire. Charles Crocker and other members of the "Big Four" who had founded the Central Pacific and completed the transcontinental railroad, formed the Pacific Improvement Co. in 1880 to develop the lavish Hotel Del Monte leisure resort immediately attracting thousands of annual visitors. The beauties of Monterey Bay, groves of pine, oak & cedar with well laid out roads were all designed to feed into the splendid hotel. The main building shown here in the image was 385 feet long by 115 feet wide with two deep wings, and four stories with a tall tower containing choice suite with extended views of the countryside. The amenities included bars, bowling alleys, smoking rooms in detached buildings, stables, carriage houses, ponds, fountains, and beautifully landscaped grounds. Occasionally mistaken for hand-coloured photographs, these stunning images were created by a photolithographic process by which black and white negatives are applied to multiple lithographic stones and colours are added one stone at a time, often requiring up to 19 different stones for these vividly coloured images. Jackson (1843-1942) was a noted artist and Western photographer who joined the company by selling his entire stock of 1000s of negatives to the Detroit Photographic Co. in 1897 providing the core images enabling the company to produce millions of images from postcards up to the large panoramas. In 1903, after the resignation of Edwin Husher, Jackson took over the supervising and publishing of the images, as well as supervising a crew of forty artisans and a dozen traveling salesman.
