11-panel panorama photograph, silver gelatin prints, joined to approximately 5 1/2 x 76 1/2 inches, by Martin Behrman, 1910, being a photograph of an 1851 daguerreotype panorama of San Francisco from Rincon Hill, framed, vertical fold creases near or at overlaps, uneven fading between some panels, not examined out of frame. San Francisco photographer Martin Behrman preserved a number of early California photographs, some of which, like the present example, exist only in his copies. Behrman has labeled many points of interest, streets, and landmarks in the negative like the water lots, deserted ships, Sutter House, etc. This example is rare in that it includes all 11 of the original images (the Library of Congress example includes only 5). Surely one of the earliest photographic panoramas of the city. See illustration.
