Panorama of San Francisco, 1851
From halfway up the slopes of Nob Hill, this painting reveals a portrait of San Francisco as it was on a Spring morning in 1851. Beyond the sprawl of newly-built districts can be seen the listing hulls of over six hundred ships, many left abandoned by their crews and captains in their search for gold.
