About This Item
San Francisco: 2002. Aluminum mold for the plaque commemorating Chilecito, or "Little Chile," the settlement of Chilean miners during the Gold Rush in San Francisco between Montgomery, Pacific, Jackson and Kearny Streets. 17 x 24.5 inches, 43 x 62 cm. When gold was first discovered in the Sierra Nevada foothills, some of the first miners to arrive in California to test their luck were from Chile. News of the discovery hit the Chilean port city of Valparaiso in August of 1848, and within six months thousands of Chileans had left for San Francisco. The image is of the bronze plaque in the street which was made from the mold.
