Paul Emmert

Paul Emmert was an artist born near Berne, Switzerland in 1826. By 1845, he had become an established artist in New York. He joined the Gold rush to California in 1849. The following year he exhibited in Brooklyn a panorama of the gold mining activities before making his second trip to California late in 1850. While in California, he operated the Bear Hotel in Sacramento and exhibited the panorama in San Francisco and other communities. In 1853 he moved to Hawaii where he resided until his death in 1867 in Honolulu. The Amon Carter Museum (Fort Worth, Texas), the Hawaii Historical Society and the Honolulu Academy of Arts are among the public collections holding works by Paul Emmert.
