Provenance
The materials in series I, purchased from Verne Dyson, December 13, 1962.
The provenance of the photographs in series II is unclear. Acquisition records indicate that 170 Hazard-Dyson photographs
were purchased from Dawson's Bookshop in December 1965.
Biographical Note on Verne Dyson
Verne Dyson (1879-1971) was born in Calloway County, Missouri, and graduated from Central College, Fayette, Missouri. He started
his career in journalism in 1907 as a feature writer at the
Kansas City Star, then later the same year moved to Los Angeles to work as a writer and editor at the
Los Angeles Times. Dyson became acquainted with historian George W. Hazard, who hired him to edit a work on the history of Los Angeles that
Hazard had been working on for many years. Hazard died in 1914 before it was published. Dyson acquired Hazard’s vast collection
of materials and photographs from his family.
Dyson stayed in Los Angeles until 1920, when he went to Shanghai, China to become dean of Williams College. The following
year he became professor of English and Chinese history at the University of the Philippines in Manila. From 1940 - 1961
he served as curator of the Walt Whitman Museum in New York, and founded the Brentwood, New York Bulletin, and the Walt Whitman
Quarterly. He retired to California in 1961 and died in 1971.
In the introduction to this manuscript, dated 1962, Dyson writes: "My study of the California ranchos began in 1913 when I
bought a large collection of pictures and historical material from George W. Hazard, brother of Henry Hazard, an early mayor
of Los Angeles… I sold the larger part of the Hazard collection in New York City fifteen years ago [1947], retaining all of
the pictures and historical material dealing with the ranchos. Between the years 1913 and 1920 in Los Angeles, I devoted
much of my time to classifying the rancho material and preparing a manuscript… I completed the manuscript recently, having
been able to concentrate on it after retiring from active life and coming to San Diego eight months ago." – Verne Dyson, San
Diego, May 27, 1962. (See "About this Book," Box 1).
Biographical Note on George Hazard
George W. Hazard (1842-1914) was a Los Angeles historian and amateur photographer. Between the 1890s and early 1900s, Hazard
traveled throughout Southern California photographing locations of local historical significance.
Scope and Content
This collection contains an unpublished typewritten manuscript, ca. 1962, with 326 photographs, entitled "California’s Romantic
Ranchos: The History, Stories and Legends of the Haciendas, with a Roll of the Rancheros,
a Complete List of the Land Grants of California, and Biographies of Famous Personalities – Spanish, Mexican and American,"
by journalist and editor Verne Dyson (1879-1971). The photographs date from ca.
1868–1922 and include adobes, early homes and towns, missions and prominent pioneers of California. There are also 15 engravings
and several printed illustrations and maps removed from other texts, as well
as a 19th century abstract of title - a history of A. W. Timms’ land transactions on
Rancho Palos Verdes, California, ca. 1855-1878.
In addition, Boxes 6 and 7 contain 121 photographs that depict a variety of views of Southern California with the "Hazard-Dyson
Collection" stamp.
These include photographs presumably by George Hazard, ca. 1890-1914, as well as other late 19th and early 20th century photographs
by commercial photographers.
In 2016, these photographs were
removed from the Huntington Library’s Photographic Files (PF) and reunited with the rest of the collection. The photographs
retain the "photPF" call number on the back of the image.

Photographs, illustrations, and Rancho Palos Verdes title abstract
The photographs are stamped "Hazard-Dyson Collection," which began as the collection of George W. Hazard, and included many
photographs Hazard made himself. Dyson took over the collection in 1913 just before Hazard’s death.
Dyson then called it the "Hazard-Dyson Collection," and began stamping the backs of the photographs with the name. He also
added some to the collection in the years after he took possession.
The illustrations include clippings, maps, drawings and engravings.
The photographs are mostly from the late 19th century, and many are uncredited. Two photographers have been identified through
research:
- George W. Hazard – There are 3 x 3-inch photographs by Hazard, ca. 1890-1914, identified by the corresponding negatives that
are in
the Ernest Marquez Photograph Collection (photCL 555). These have all been digitized and can be viewed in the Huntington
Digital Library.
- James B. Blanchard – There are several unmounted cabinet card-size photographs with distinctive numbers and titles printed
in the lower left corner –
other copies of the same photographs were found to have the imprint of James B. Blanchard, a photographer active in Los Angeles
1890-1902, operating as J. B. Blanchard & Co.
(Source: Mautz, Carl. Biography of Western Photographers, 1997.) It is very likely these photographs are by Blanchard, and
they have been noted in the container list below.
Other photographers, identified by imprints, are noted in the detailed box list, below. There is one photograph of Verne Dyson,
1916, with Alice P. Williams, owner of Rancho Dos Pueblos, in Box 3, Folder 28.

Hazard-Dyson Photographs
Scope and Content Note
This series contains 121 photographs that depict a variety of views in Southern California and include both 9 x 9 cm (3 x
3") photographs presumably by George Hazard, ca. 1890-1914,
as well as other late 19th and early 20th century photographs by commercial photographers.
Note: in 2016, these photographs were removed from the Huntington Library’s Photographic Files (PF) and reunited with the
rest of the collection. The photographs retain the "photPF" call number on the back of the image.
A set of 16 images lacking photPF call numbers was also pulled in 2016 from the Photographic Files. These are housed in Box
7, Folder 3, and have been given consecutive item numbers (1-14).
Arrangement
The items are arranged chiefly according to their photPF call numbers (between photPF 20843-24902),
followed by a set of 16 images that lacked photPF numbers, and two larger size photPF items (photPF 10224 and 10442).
