This very large-scale view of 1878 San Francisco shows the 19th-century metropolis thirty years after the discovery of gold in California. It is densely detailed; more than one hundred landmarks are named in its index.

This historically accurate, handcrafted frame has been selected and created by Ædicule to produce the perfect presentation of our Perfect Recreation™ of this fascinating window on San Francisco's past. The aged black surround acts as a target, drawing your eye to its center. The gentle curve of the frame's Spanish bolection profile "pushes" the work forward; the inside gilt edge captures and reflects light onto the artwork.
