The subject of this book is San Francisco Bay in the broad sense. This is history presented in a fascinating pictorial style and every effort has been made to present an interesting and well-rounded treatment which depicts the history of the bay, its people, cities and towns, watercraft and commerce. The introductory text and extensive picture captions act as the bond which connects and brings the many illustrations to life on the printed pages of this magnificent book. - Jacket flap.
"The illustrations in this volume are the examples of numerous photographers, lithographers and artists who have captured the bay scene on paper, canvas, stone and film in the period since its discovery. Of the many photographers whose works are included, some are known by name, others not. Those known include William Shew, Edward J. Muybridge, Carleton E. Watkins, I.W. Taber, William H. Lange, T.H. Wilton, C. Weidner, R.J. Waters, Walter A. Scott, and Morton and Company." -- book jacket.
