The view shows St. Mary's Cathedral at the corner of California and Dupont Streets, one of the Catholic landmarks of early San Francisco. The church stood in a city still rebuilding after the gold rush boom, when its population was growing fast and its streets were being graded and built up. This print is catalogued as one half of a stereograph pair from the *Gems of California Scenery* series, no. 464, meant to be viewed through a stereoscope for a sense of depth. The record dates it to 1866, though that date comes from an old caption card and has not been independently verified.
