Frona Eunice Wait (Mrs. Colburn) was an author and slide lecturer. Following the publication of her book Wines & Vines of California, in 1889 she lectured throughout the state on wine and viticulture. Dr. Maynard Amerine first met her in 1935. She later came to UC Davis to present her program. Her collection of historic lantern slides was entrusted to Amerine for safekeeping and he, in turn, donated the slides to the Napa Valley Wine Library in 1981. The collection documents the wineries, winegrowing and winemaking in Napa, Sonoma and Fresno Counties and the Livermore Valley in the 1880’s and includes some of the earliest images known of Inglenook Winery and Greystone Cellars.
