EDITORS COMMENTS
This print captures the historical significance of California's Monterey Old Custom House, which was established in 1770 when Monterey served as the capital. Taken by an American photographer in the 19th century, this image is now part of a private collection. The Old Custom House stands as a testament to California's rich history and serves as an illustration for A Picture Journey Through California, a publication from Sunset Press in cooperation with Southern Pacific Company circa 1927. The photograph showcases the architectural beauty of the Old Custom House against a backdrop of early 20th-century America. Its presence evokes a sense of nostalgia for a time long gone, transporting viewers back to the vibrant era of the twenties. As one gazes upon this image, they are transported to an age where customs were established and trade flourished within these walls. Monterey's Old Custom House holds immense cultural value as it represents not only California's past but also its connection to North America's history. This view offers us glimpses into our collective heritage while reminding us that progress and change are inevitable throughout time. As we admire this snapshot from the early twentieth century, we can't help but appreciate how far both Monterey and America have come since then. It serves as a reminder that even amidst modernity, it is crucial to preserve our historical landmarks so that future generations may continue to learn from them.
