DESCRIPTION:Etched in Memory:   Urban Views from the John S. Drum Collection  January 
 28 ~ May 28, 2004  The Society of California Pioneers is proud to present 
 its newest exhibition, Etched in Memory: Urban Views from the John S. Drum 
 Collection.  This exhibit features the work of San Francisco natives Armin 
 Hansen and Lawrence Scammon, the Austrian émigré John Joseph Winkler, and 
 Massachusetts-born Loren Roberta Barton among others.  While most 
 California artists of the time were creating traditional landscapes, these 
 artists chose to focus on the burgeoning life of cities, their 
 architecture, ethnic neighborhoods, and bustling waterfronts. With a 
 scarcity for vegetation or human beings, these works relay a longing for 
 the receding world of nature that was quickly being replaced in California 
 of the 1910s and 20s.  The collection was purchased from John Sylvester 
 Drum (1872-1957), a prominent attorney, who served as president of the 
 American Trust Corporation as well as president of the American Bankers’ 
 Association and sat on the boards of Pacific Gas & Electric and the 
 Yosemite Valley Railroad Company. Along with C. Templeton Crocker he was in 
 part responsible for reviving the moribund California Historical Society in 
 1922 and was made a Knight of Malta by the pope in 1929 for his church 
 philanthropy. Today the etchings in the Drum collection form an invaluable 
 historical record of California’s cities in the transitory phase from 
 village to metropolis.  The Society of California Pioneers, founded in 1850 
 by pre-Gold Rush pioneers, is the state's oldest historical organization. 
 Dedicated to the preservation, promotion, and enjoyment of California 
 heritage, the Society’s archives include an outstanding collection of 
 19th and early 20th century artwork, artifacts, photographs and 
 manuscripts.   The Society of California Pioneers  300 Fourth Street at
