"The old American Dream was the dream of the Puritans, of Benjamin Franklin's "Poor Richard"... of men and women content to accumulate their modest fortunes a little at a time, year by year by year. The new dream was the dream of instant wealth, won in a twinkling by audacity and good luck."
Chasing The California Dream: Gold Rush to the Golden Era is a publication created as part of the submission to the 2020 ISTD awards under the theme "Migration". The publication explores the idealisation of the "California Dream" at two points in history: the Gold Rush and the golden age of Hollywood cinema.
