Description
Perhaps the most attractive and desirable of the original U.S. Coast Survey charts of the California Coast, with 17 painstakingly hand-colored vignettes. Covers from San Diego and the Mexican border north as far north as Pt. Reyes and the San Francisco Bay. Details San Diego Bay, 'El Peublo de Los Angeles' and the Los Angeles Valley, the Mission of San Fernando and the San Fernando Valley, and the San Francisco Bay area including San Francisco itself, Oakland, San Jose, Union City and Alviso. By far this map's most dramatic quality its inclusion of seventeen stunning coastal views including 'View of the Entrance to San Francisco Bay,' 'View Pt. Piedras,' 'View Pt. Ano Nuevo,' 'View of Pt. Pinos,' 'View of Pt. Sur,' 'View of Piedras Blancas,' 'View of Moro Rock,' 'Esteros Bay,' 'View of Pt. Sal,' ' View Pt. Arguila,' 'View Pt. Concepcion bearing W. by S.,' 'View of Pt. Concepcion bearing S.E. by E.,' 'View Pt. Duma,' 'View of the Town and Mission of Santa Barbara,' 'View of San Pedro, Pt. Fermin,' 'View showing initial point of boundary between the United States and Mexico,' 'View of Catalina Harbor,' and a 'View Pt. Loma.' Also offers numerous depth soundings along the coastline and between major islands and undersea dangers. Copious notes and sailing instructions in the upper right hand quadrant of the map are an interesting read for the nautically inclined. The vignettes in this example have been carefully colored by a design professional. Notice that each is like a small painting, with subtle shading and choice of coloring that adds real depth to each composition. For comparison, vignettes from similar maps sold in the past have been provided to illustrate the superior coloring of the present example.
