Missions of Edwin Deakin daily
One of the earliest artists to record all 21 California missions in color, Edwin Deakin visited each mission and made these field watercolor sketches between 1897 and 1899, documenting the missions as they were falling into ruin. His work had a profound impact on efforts to save them before they disappeared forever.
