EDITORS COMMENTS
This engraving, titled 'Seal Point, Bay of San Francisco,' offers a captivating glimpse into the historical past of the iconic Bay Area landmark. Dated back to 1888, this image showcases the rocky shoreline of Seal Point on the Farallon Isles, located in the San Francisco Bay. The name 'Seal Point' is a fitting one, as a large number of seals can be seen sitting on the rocks, basking in the sun and enjoying the tranquil waters. The image, published by the Illustrated London News, is an essential addition to any collection of historical San Francisco Bay imagery. The intricate details of the engraving reveal the rugged beauty of the shoreline, with its craggy cliffs and rocky outcroppings. The seals, with their sleek bodies and expressive faces, add a dynamic element to the otherwise still scene. The Farallon Isles, located approximately 30 miles west of the San Francisco coastline, have long been a source of fascination for explorers, naturalists, and settlers. The islands were first discovered by Europeans in the late 16th century, and their unique ecosystem, which includes a diverse array of bird and marine life, has been the subject of scientific study for over two centuries. This engraving offers a rare glimpse into the past, transporting us back to a time when the Bay Area was still largely undeveloped and untouched by the modern world. It is a reminder of the rich history and natural beauty that continues to make the San Francisco Bay and its surrounding areas a beloved destination for visitors from around the world.
