This large-format property deed documents an 1872 real estate transfer in San Francisco, California, during a critical period of post-Gold Rush urban consolidation. The decades following the California Gold Rush witnessed one of the most rapid urban transformations in American history, as San Francisco evolved from a chaotic port settlement into a fully structured city governed by formal property law, surveyed streets, and recorded land ownership. What had once been a landscape of informal claims, tents, and wooden buildings gave way to a dense urban grid as population growth, capital investment, and municipal authority demanded legal clarity. This 1872 property deed belongs squarely within that moment of consolidation and maturation. Dated February of that year, it records a transfer of real estate between James M. Allen and Frederick J. Worthington, both residents of the City and County of San Francisco. The document follows the formal indenture style typical of nineteenth-century California deeds, establishing consideration, transfer of ownership, and full legal conveyance under state law. The parcel itself is described through a detailed metes-and-bounds survey, beginning at a point on Union Street and extending toward Hyde Street, situating the property in a neighborhood that was actively being built out during the post-Civil War era. The careful measurements, directional angles, and references to street intersections demonstrate the increasingly professional surveying practices adopted by the city as it imposed order on its rapidly growing street system. Such descriptions were critical in preventing boundary disputes and ensuring that ownership could be defended, transferred, or mortgaged without ambiguity. Beyond the land alone, the deed explicitly conveys all associated rights, improvements, and appurtenances, a standard but essential clause that ensured buildings, structures, and future developments were legally included in the transfer. The attached certification and red wax seal confirm that this instrument was formally executed and intended for permanent record, not casual correspondence. As a historical artifact, this deed serves as a primary-source record of San Francisco’s transition from frontier city to established metropolis. It ties named individuals to a precise location, documents real estate values at a fixed point in time, and preserves the exact legal language that governed ownership in nineteenth-century California. The item shown in the listing is the exact item the collector will receive. We have tens of thousands of items to choose from.

Offering this beautiful and likely very rare Joe Altman photograph of Alcatraz from Hyde Street Pier, circa 1979. To be clear, the photo was taken in 1979 and the print was done in 1985, as stated on verso. Also a nice personalized birthday wish to a friend on back from Joe. This photo (likely a gelatin silver print) measures 13″ by 9 1/2″ and is mounted to a board with a matte that measures 20″ by 16″. The matte does show a very light bit of dirt here and there but not too bad. Work is pencil signed and dated on front and has other info and personalized message on rear in pencil also. Joe Altman was primarily known for his photos of the gay community in San Francisco in the 70s and 80s. There is little to no sales pricing information out there on his work that I could find. The California Historical Society has a large collection of his work I believe. Also many photos in the Online Archive of California. Thanks for looking and good luck!

California Landscape – Rock detail, abstract. Original vintage silver gelatin photograph – scarce. Photographer’s ink stamps and notations on verso. Date Of Print: 1955 – 1962. Double weight fiber based photographic paper. 8 x 10 inches. Many people refer to Philip Hyde as the underappreciated master landscape photographer of the 20th Century. His photographs participated in more environmental campaigns than those of any other photographer. At the birth of the modern environmental movement, he was one of the primary illustrators of the groundbreaking Sierra Club Exhibit Format Series. He dedicated his life to defending Western American wilderness, working with the Wilderness Society, National Audubon and others. His color landscapes inspired a generation of photographers, while helping to establish color photography as a fine art. His photographs helped protect Dinosaur National Monument, the Grand Canyon, the Coast Redwoods, Point Reyes, King’s Canyon, Canyon de Chelly, the North Cascades, Canyonlands, the Wind Rivers, Big Sur and many other National Parks and wilderness areas. American Photo Magazine named Philip Hyde’s photograph, “Cathedral In The Desert, Glen Canyon, Utah, 1964″ one of the top 100 photographs of the 20th century. Ansel Adams said that Philip Hyde was one of the very best photographers of the natural scene in America. ” Pulitzer Prize winning photographer Jack Dykinga said, “Philip Hyde inspired many of the’Who’s Who’ of Landscape Photography working today. ” In Outdoor Photographer and many other magazines, Philip Hyde is referred to as “one of the all-time most influential landscape masters. Born and raised in San Francisco, Philip Hyde lived for 50 years in the house he built in the Sierra Nevada Mountains of California with his late wife Ardis. At the California School of Fine Arts, now the San Francisco Art Institute, Philip Hyde studied under Ansel Adams, Minor White, Edward Weston, Imogen Cunningham, Lisette Model, Dorothea Lange and other definers of the medium. Philip Hyde’s work has appeared in more than 80 books and 100 major publications including The New York Times, Audubon, Life, National Geographic, Aperture, B&W Magazine, Fortune and Newsweek. His work has been exhibited in over 100 of North America’s finest venues. Please see lists of exhibitions under “INFO”. The North American Nature Photography Association honored him with a lifetime achievement award in 1996. He received the California Conservation Council’s Merit Award in 1962 and the Albert Bender Grant in 1956. In 2009, the International League of Conservation Photographers made Philip Hyde an honorary member. In most cases Hyde made only 2 or 4 prints of a given image and on rare occasions would print 8 prints from a specific negative but, never more. These extremely low print numbers (Ansel Adams routinely printed hundreds of prints from a negative) have resulted in Hyde’s vintage silver gelatin prints being extremely rare and mostly unavailable (long ago snapped up by savvy collectors). A small number of Hyde’s vintage silver gelatin prints were offered by a handful of prestigious photography galleries Weston Gallery, Scott Nichols Gallery, etc. Philip Hyde original vintage prints are extremely RARE. Philip Hyde never printed more than eight prints of a given image and in most cases he printed only two to four. Variations in value are due to several factors, but are primarily based on the photograph’s subsequent significance, exhibition history, publishing history, etc. There is generally little variation in condition, with a few exceptions.
