Recently browsing through UCD Special Collections “mini
collections” I came onto several file folders labeled “Yolo Co. (Photos)” that
contained dozens of interesting and unidentified decades-old photographic images.
Twelve Color Snapshots
These image are in large part an assortment of well-known
black and white scenes taken well before World War II.
But a small subset caught my attention. Deep in one of these
files, there were twelve small color snapshots of Davis street scenes.
Laying them out on a Special Collectiions reading room table
I could see that at least eight of the twelve were not random views of
Davis streets.
