A BRIEF HISTORY OF WHEELOCK
Wheelock was not the manufacturer of souvenir china but the importer.  The scenes or pictures were selected in the area where they were to be sold, hence Santa Ana, Cal.  (WHERE BOTH OF MY FAMILY SIDES WERE FROM IN THE LATE 1800's.)
Scenes were gleaned from postcards and then sent to Europe for processing.  They made a transfer print which then was applied to the china.  At first the pictures were black and white but later many were hand colored at factories.  Eventually
transfer prints were done in color eliminating the step of coloring by hand.
