Unlike many views of the city on this board, this one turns to the water and presents San Diego Bay as a working harbor rather than a street or landmark. It is a photoprint of an original artwork by Maud McMullan, an artist working in San Diego around 1895, so it records her interpretation of the bay rather than a direct camera view. In the 1890s, shipping and maritime trade were central to the city's growth, and prints like this helped local art circulate beyond its original audience.
