Description
Landscape view as seen from Bacon's Hill, located on the (modern-day) border between Pasadena and South Pasadena, California, of miles of empty, flat land, presumably on the Los Robles estate owned by General George Stoneman (in present-day San Marino and South Pasadena), with a small building sitting between the land and trees. Behind that are agricultural fields, and scattered houses.
Title transcribed from the front of photo-mount. Date devised by cataloger; Watkins made two trips to Southern California, in 1877 and 1880. Printed to left of title: "B. 4,795," and below title: "Watkins' New Boudoir Series Yo Semite and Pacific Coast, 427 Montgomery Street, San Francisco." Corresponds with Watkins New Series stereo #4795, but with variant title.
