Frontispiece advertisement containing a Western-themed scene set within a mirror-shaped panel with Victorian details. Scene shows a canyon valley in which miners prepare to depart from their log cabin base. The men sit on logs and a wagon loaded with small crates, carry picks, and engage in discussion. In the background, miners pick at rocks near a waterfall emptying into a stream within the valley. The oval-shape image is bordered by the figure of a Native American man holding a gun and a pipe, and an African American man holding a hoe, smoking a pipe, and seated next to a plant on the base of the panel. Floral details and an American flag adorn the upper frame of the oval. The Duval firm operated under the name P.S. Duval & Son or P.S Duval, Son & Co. circa 1857-circa 1879.
