Description
A New England Villa in San Rafael, California. The brochure in which this image appears describes the New England Villa as "a popular resort for the people of San Francisco who wish a change of air and a taste of country life." This illustration is from a brochure titled San Rafael Illustrated and Described, published by W.W. Elliott & Co., in 1884. The brochure shows images of early San Rafael and was designed as a promotional piece, meant to attract new residents and investors to Marin County's most populous town. The original lithographs were made from the sketches of Mr. Chris Jorgensen, a teacher at the San Francisco Art School and noted artist.
