Description
Photograph of two panoramic drawings depicting views of Telegraph Hill and the city in San Francisco, 1885. The top panorama depicts Telegraph Hill, just barely visible in the background behind the numerous masts of ships in the bay. A small row boat is visible in the left foreground. The lower panorama shows the city from the waterworks reservoir. A street is partially visible in the left foreground, along which several people stroll. A picket fence to the right of the street leads to a church to the far left. A second street is visible at a distance in the far right. The city stretches out to a large hill in the background, several church spires visible along the way.
