An early and justly famous view of San Francisco taken from History of the World. Fifteen points of interest listed and keyed to the view including Contra Costa in the distance, the California Exchange, the Marine Telegraph, etc. The harbor is filled with ships and the city's growth is already evident. A remarkable, historical and very desirable tinted lithographic view.

Nice dark impression on thick paper with wide margins. Folding, as issued. Faint trace of toning along a couple of folds, still very good to fine. One fold with short split in wide margin well away from image.
