James Lick, the eccentric California real estate millionaire and telescope builder who died in 1876, left the bulk of his fortune for public benefit โ€” including the Lick Observatory on Mount Hamilton (the world's first permanently occupied mountain-top observatory), the California School of Mechanical Arts, and this monument to California's pioneers, industries, and Native peoples. The monument, installed in the rotunda of San Francisco's new City Hall, featured elaborate allegorical figures representing California's history. A significant piece of San Francisco history, California philanthropic history, and Gilded Age public art.\n\nโ”โ”โ”โ”โ”โ”โ”โ”โ”โ”โ”โ”โ”โ”โ”โ”โ”โ”โ”โ”โ”โ”โ”โ”โ”โ”โ”โ”โ”โ”โ”โ”โ”โ”โ”โ”โ”โ”โ”โ”\n๐Ÿ›’ NEW YORK'S EAST SIDE STREET MERCHANTS\nโ”โ”โ”โ”โ”โ”โ”โ”โ”โ”โ”โ”โ”โ”โ”โ”โ”โ”โ”โ”โ”โ”โ”โ”โ”โ”โ”โ”โ”โ”โ”โ”โ”โ”โ”โ”โ”โ”โ”โ”\n\n๐Ÿ›’ FULL PAGE โ€” \"EAST SIDE MERCHANTS OF THE SIDEWALK\"\nA full-page illustration of the street merchants of New York's Lower East Side โ€” the pushcart vendors, peddlers, and sidewalk sellers who were the economic lifeblood of the immigrant neighborhoods flooding into New York in the 1890s. The Lower East Side in 1891 was one of the most densely populated places on earth, its streets alive with Jewish, Italian, and Eastern European immigrant entrepreneurs who built American small business culture from a pushcart up.

Wallace was one of 25 U.S. soldiers killed in the confrontation that ended the Ghost Dance movement and the Indian Wars era. This memorial portrait, published in the immediate aftermath of Wounded Knee, makes this a primary document of one of the most consequential and tragic events in Native American history.
