## Caption

On September 20, 1852, California’s first agricultural fair began at James Lloyd Lafayette Franklin Warren’s New England Seed Store, located on J Street between Front and Second Streets. Warren invited farmers and others in the industry to display their products, mineral collections, and to discuss farming issues. This event was a precursor to the California State Fair. Warren’s store burned down in the Great Conflagration on November 2, 1852. Warren later founded the California Farmer and Journal of Useful Sciences newspaper in 1854 and also helped establish the California State Agricultural Society. The State Agricultural Society was authorized by the California Legislature to hold exhibitions of livestock, manufactures, and productions. On October 4, 1854, the society held the first California State Fair in San Francisco. A different city hosted the State Fair each year until Sacramento became the permanent location in 1859. For today, Jared letterpress printed a hand carved woodcut from the Lewis Winter Collection that was made about 125-130 years ago. This woodcut depicts an early seal of the California State Agricultural Society. Considering Lewis Winter submitted many engravings for competition at the State Fair in the early 1890s, that could explain why he made this woodcut. Based off of the state seal of California, this woodcut includes a depiction of Minerva as a bust and more agricultural products rather than geographic features as in the state seal.  #SacHistoryMuseum #onthisday #museumtok #getcultured #printing #learnontiktok
