 Gold Rush ImagesThe following illustrations of California Gold Rush scenes were, for the
most part, created during the early years of the Gold Rush. They were
used to illustrate newspaper and magazine articles, to show the world
what life in the gold mines of California was really like. Wandering
artists would traverse the gold fields, sketching whatever sights caught
their fancy. The quality of the images depended upon the talent of the
artist, so some are a bit more accomplished than others. But they all
give us an idea of how the world saw California during the early years
of the Gold Rush.
