Circa 1850

San Francisco Bay as viewed from Dupont (now Grant Avenue), between Commercial and Clay Streets. Reproduced by Anchor Brewing Company from an original chromolithograph printed by M. & N. Hanhart and published July 1, 1851 by Henry Squire and Company, London. Its designer was English travel writer and self-styled adventurer Samuel Francis (Frank) Marryat, whose “Mountains and Molehills or Recollections of a Burnt Journal” provides an extraordinary firsthand account of his Gold Rush sojourn in Northern California.
