Scarce first state chromolithograph panoramic bird's-eye view of San Francisco at the height of the Gold Rush, based upon a painting by George H. Burgess. It measures 38 3/8 x 20 inches and is untrimmed. Some minor restoration. Backed on cotton and mounted on archival foam board and frame ready. Margins with light soiling but nonetheless a very good copy of a lovely and scarce bird's-eye chromolithograph.The view is from the foot of Montgomery Street looking north to Telegraph Hill and shows buildings and warehouses in center; ships in harbor at right; fenced residences at left; men in campsite with tents and cook fires in foreground. The view shows what is now San Francisco's Financial District. This is the first of three states listed by Reps, with a large title directly beneath the image, and a small title under labeled diagram in the lower left margin. The later states did not have the large title. Peters p.106.
