SHED, CHARLES DYER. 1818-1893.
Est: $400 - $600
2 Autograph Letters Signed ("C.D. Shed"), 4 pp and 1 1/2 pp, 8vo, Alameda, January 14, 1885 and San Francisco, June 15, no year, to his daughter Alista ("Allie") Shed in Hawaii, the first splitting at folds. Together with a gelatin silver print of Alista Shed ostensibly reading a letter outside the Shed home at 1616 Alameda Avenue, Alameda, and an etching of the same house. Charles Dyer Shed was a 49er, and worked as a ship chandler and scene painter for the theatrical producer David Robinson. His northern California landscapes and shipping scenes in the Bay area are well known. His daughter Alista later married Britton of Britton & Ray publishing fame. The longer letter discusses the painter Jules Tavernier [1844-1889] who in 1884 fled his Californian creditors and headed for Honolulu. He produced many landscapes, working from his studio at Hilo. Shed describes him as "a Regular Bohemian ... never pays his bills, that's his reputation that between you and me he may want to borrow from some of you islanders."

SHED, CHARLES DYER
Est: $2,000 - $3,000
Two autograph letters, signed. To his daughter Alista ("Allie") Shed in Hawai'i. Alameda & San Francisco, California: 14 January 1885 and 15 June (no year) 8vo, 4 pages & 1 ½ pages, plus photograph of Alista and of an etching of their house in Alameda. NOTE Charles Dyer Shed (1818-1893) came from Boston to California during the Gold Rush in 1849. He worked as a ship chandler and as a scene painter for the theatrical producer David Robinson. He is known for his landscapes of northern California and his views of shipping activities in San Francisco Bay. His daughter, born in 1863, later married Britton of the publisher Britton & Ray. His longer letter describes the artist Jules Tavernier (1844-1889), best known for his treatment of volcanoes. Tavernier arrived in Honolulu late in 1884 to escape his California creditors. He spent considerable time in Hawai'i producing many landscapes in his Hilo studio. Shed confides "He is a Frenchman, wild one at that, a Regular Bohemian as they call them, that is he belongs to the Bohemian Club, never pays his bills, that's his reputation that between you and me he may want to borrow from some of you islanders." The photograph was taken at the Shed home at 1616 Alameda Avenue, in Alameda California.
