DESCRIPTION:The Society of California Pioneers  announces the opening of its upcoming 
 exhibition  The King's Orphan  June 25 through December 4, 2004  The 
 Society of California Pioneers is pleased announce its upcoming exhibition, 
 The King's Orphan, opening Friday, June 25.  This exhibition features 
 thirty-three drawings made between 1842 and 1843 by a Swedish explorer to 
 California who recorded everything he saw for the benefit of king and 
 country. The author of these works, the first recorded Swedish visitor to 
 California, was the alleged illegitimate offspring of King Karl XIII, 
 educated at the expense of the Swedish crown before coming to America. The 
 exhibition follows the travels of this self-described "physician, mining 
 expert, and naturalist" as he recorded his observations of the new land and 
 its people in vivid detail. The artist covered a wide array of subjects 
 ranging from towns, missions, and landscapes to descriptions of Native 
 Americans, Mexicans, californianos, and members of the animal kingdom.  The
