  • One panel of Gifford's S.F. Panorama
    Jun. 27, 2024

    One panel of Gifford's S.F. Panorama

    Est: $1,200 - $1,800

    Heading: (California - San Francisco) Author: Gifford, Charles B., artist Title: San Francisco, 1862. From Russian Hill... Looking East Place Published: San Francisco Publisher:[A. Rosenfeld] Date Published: 1862 Description: Lithograph. Image 32.5x67.3 cm (12¾x26¼”); sheet 55.3x65.8 cm (21¾x26”).The third of five panels of Charles B. Gifford‘s rare and highly important panorama of San Francisco. Only a handful of examples of the five sheet joined together are known (the last copy on the market was listed at $35,000). Described as the most ambitious Western view of the period, Gifford‘s extraordinarily detailed rendering of the entire city was not equaled until Eadweard Muybridge‘s photographic panorama fifteen years later. Each stand-alone section contained the full title information and an independently numbered key to significant places depicted. This section, Section 5, shows San Francisco from Russian Hill looking south and west. The key identifies 21 places from Point St. Quentin and Mission Bay in the far south south east, across S.F. High School, Mission Dolores, and Jones Street, to Lone Mountain Cemetery in the west, which was later (mostly) relocated to Colma. See Reps 290-296.
