This is a hand-colored lithograph view of San Francisco from 1854, published by Henry Bill for his History of the World. The view is a bird’s-eye perspective taken from Nob Hill, looking down California Street toward the bay and Yerba Buena Island. The print was produced in several editions between 1850 and 1857, with this specific one dating to the 1854 publication.

So you only pay what it actually costs from my ZIP. On the listing to view. Other carriers and services. Artwork Title & Overview. Artist/Publisher: Henry Bill, New York. Publisher Note (visible): Published for the History of the World by Henry Bill, New York. Medium: Lithograph possibly original three-color stone lithograph according to the label from Lyons Ltd. Subject: A panoramic view of San Francisco from the mid-19th century, labeled with notable landmarks such as. ???? About Henry Bill. Henry Bill was a 19th-century American publisher known for his historical prints and books, particularly those that accompanied atlases or large-format “views” of cities. This print of San Francisco is characteristic of his work in documenting American urban development during the Gold Rush and expansion periods. Print Authenticity & Label Info. Label on the back Lyons Ltd. Antique Prints suggests this may be an original three-color stone lithograph circa 1856. Sorry I noticed that I didn’t get a full photo of the back and it is already packaged up – It has a wire and ready to hang =. Frame It Shops & Gallery (Citrus Heights/Carmichael) suggests it was professionally framed, possibly in the 1980s-1990s. The artwork appears to be in moderate condition with some age-toning and light warping, common in authentic mid-19th-century paper.

A rare, unique vintage color lithograph pictorial / illustrated map, “A Map Showing San Francisco and the Sacramento Valley in the Year 1849, ” from 1929, by artist CEJ. CEJ is Charles Everett Johnson, from Gilroy, California, just south of San Francisco. He was born in 1866, and practiced art and graphic design in Southern California, until the 1940s. This is a particularly rare map in that regard! While this map is marked CEJ 1929, others from this series Chicago, Philadelphia, New Orleans, Washington, D. Boston, and New York City are marked differently, including no markings, CEJ, CEJ 29, or CEJ 1929. May be plates from a book or magazine, but I have been unable to find any others like it!

Color lithograph illustrated map A Map Showing San Francisco and the Sacramento Valley in the Year 1849 in used condition, with age, use, and storage related wear. Original crease down center, smaller crease at top right corner. Some small tears along he left edge, likely from when it was removed from its original source. Some slight toning around edges, slightly rougher along left edge. Make sure to handle with care! Otherwise vivid illustrated lithograph map in red and black displays quite nicely!

This is a rare gem. Super real gold gilt faced frame. California Gold Rush era image, miners, dogs, horses, coolies. It’s San Francisco bay with many sailing trade and transport vessels docked in the bay. Not the original from 1851 (which was 16×25) but a fantastic piece of a portfolio of Historic San Francisco lithographs that was done in 1972 with an Edition of 150 copies. Watermark of ARCHES paper shown on final image. Waterson for Burger & Evans Date Published: 1972. Image size is 16×25 and framed 22×30 in an exceptional gilt frame. I replaced the original glass with UV Plexiglas many years ago so there is no signs of fading, foxing or discoloration. Looks great for being 50 years old with beautiful colors and intricate detail. It draws your eye when you enter the room. It should go home on the walls of someone in the Gold Rush area of California.
