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