From an elevated vantage point on Signal Hill, this print looks down over the town and harbor of San Francisco, letting the viewer take in the waterfront and the streets rising behind it in a single sweep. Panoramic views like this were common in the decades after the Gold Rush, when the city grew from a modest settlement into a busy Pacific port within a few years. Hillside views of this kind recorded shipping, streets, and building growth, which makes them useful to historians of the city. The record does not include a date, so the exact moment the view captures is uncertain.
