Description
Photograph of a drawing by Edward Vischer depicting the Mission San Luis Obispo as seen from the mission orchard, ca.1864. The numerous several-story adobe buildings of the mission are pictured at the foot of a mountain seen in the background, behind the confines of a post-and-rail fence pictured to the left of center. In the foreground, a man sits on a large stone between two trees. Two other individuals stand in front of the fence a little farther off. The text below the image reads: "The lower (older) portion of the town and the Old Mission Buildings as seen from the Mission Orchard.".
