Handsome view of the rapidly growing city of San Francisco at the end of the 1850's, looking south, with goats, chickens and children in the foreground adding a rustic flavor to the metropolitan setting. Lithographed by Kuchel and Dresel from the painting by Eugene Camerer. Born in Germany in 1830, Camerer traveled to the United States in the 1840's, venturing from New York to San Francisco in the early 1850's after the discovery of gold. Following the usual unsuccessful attempt at mining, Camerer moved to Stockton and worked as a sign and portrait painter, as well as painting bird's eye views of towns, cities, and scenic landmarks. Many of his views, including Stockton, Yosemite, Mt. Shasta, and this view of San Francisco, were lithographed by the Kuchel and Dresel company in San Francisco.
