- Description
- Photograph of a drawing by Edward Vischer depicting a view of the Tamalpais Range as seen from the San Rafael Valley looking north, ca.1860. Hills extend out to the mountains on the horizon, showing a "primitive" farming scene. In the foreground, two horses stand by a cluster of rocks and trees to the left of center, while a wagon loaded with hay stands to their right. Behind and above this, on a higher hill, a small craftsman-style house can be seen beneath yet another tree, with another hay cart and a pack of horses off to the left. More indeterminate livestock can be seen grazing a third hill farther back. Text written-in below the image identifies the area and also reads, "Primitive farming scene" as well as "Rancho de la Provida, Martin County.".
