Broadside, 6 x 12 inches, Advertisement for the Emmet Club’s regular Sunday family excursion to Martinez, touching at Vallejo and Benicia both ways, on the new steamer “Petaluma.” The excursion was to leave Clay Street at 10 AM and would return at 7:30 PM. Tickets were 50 cents, while children could attend for free. The Emmet Club was likely a familial or Irish-related organization related to Robert Emmet (4 March 1778 - 20 September 1803), an Irish Republican, orator and rebel leader. Robert Emmet’s older brother, Thomas Addis Emmet emigrated to the United States shortly after Robert’s execution. He eventually served as the New York State Attorney General. His descendants (who included the prominent American portrait painters Lydia Field Emmet, Rosina Emmet Sherwood, Ellen Emmet Rand, and Jane Emmet de Glehn) helped advance his standing among the Irish diaspora. Emmet has various namesakes throughout the United States, including a statue in San Francisco’s Golden Gate Park. ��������������������������������������������������������������������������������������������������������������������������������� Est. $200-400
