Offering Vintage Watercolor Drawings Maps Fruitvale, Oakland, Alameda County, CA - 1860'sDescription: There are two 1860's vintage hand drawn watercolor and ink illustrations of "Fruit Vale, Alameda county, Cal." and a General Store receipt dated 1866 from a location about two miles away in Oakland. Also, in pen, written by someone else on the backs of the two drawings and probably much later, is "EST 1860s". All three items came from the same estate.Illustration #1 - The first illustration is more distant and appears to be downstream of the second. In the drawing are two groups of two men. The two men in the forground are looking to the area on a side of the dry creek bed (most likely Sausal Creek) where one of the men is pointing. The two men in the distance are looking at something in the creek bed. The drawing has what looks to be a fence but maybe pipes traversing the creek and there is a cart in the immediate foreground. 9" x 5", on heavy paper.Illustration #2 - The second illustration is of a wood dam about 80 feet high and a resevoir of water behind it. There is a small canyon in the forground. On the back side of the second illustration in pencil is the name of the illustrator "Tho. Redinayue"; the location "Fruit Vale, Alameda county, Cal."; and two quick sketches that might be the mechanics of the dam (or proposed dam)
