## Caption

View of J Street between Front and Second Streets in Sacramento as published on July 4, 1852 in the Pictorial Union, a special publication by The Daily Union newspaper. The Pictorial Union covered the Sacramento region during the California Gold Rush and its publications featured lithographs and engravings of towns, buildings, waterfronts, landscapes, and other scenes of the time.

This portion of the lithograph depicts The Daily Union building. First published on March 19, 1851, the Union was the oldest daily newspaper west of the Mississippi River and it published for 143 years until the Sacramento Union ceased publication on January 14, 1994. 

Copy of the lithograph of J Street from the July 4, 1852 edition of the Pictorial Union. View of J Street and a reconstruction of the Daily Union building today in Old Sacramento.
