Description
Photograph of a drawing by Edward Vischer from Alexander Forbes' 1829 book on California, published in London, of Mexican people at San Francisco bay, ca.1829. There are three people in the foreground, two women wearing dresses and with blankets on their shoulders, and mounted man wearing a fur hat and large spurs. His tired horse is ready to fall asleep as he gestures toward the water, where there appear to be more people. In the background across the calm water of the bay, there are steep mountains rising up from sea level.
