EDITORS COMMENTS
This engraving, titled 'San Francisco, California, 1850,' offers a glimpse into the early history of this bustling West Coast town. Founded during the gold rush, San Francisco's population at this time was estimated to be between 10,000 and 15,000 people. The image, viewed from the south-west, showcases the town's wooden houses and tents huddled together at the foot of the hill. At the center of the sketch, Wills Store stands prominently, a testament to the commercial activity that was already thriving in the young town. The store, with its red roof and whitewashed walls, served as an important hub for trade and commerce. The large fleet of ships in the background speaks to the town's role as a major port city, with goods and people arriving from all corners of the world. San Francisco's strategic location, nestled between the Pacific Ocean and the San Francisco Bay, made it an ideal place for import and export businesses. Despite its small size, San Francisco was already making a name for itself as a vibrant and dynamic community. The wooden houses and tents, while humble, represent the determination and resilience of the people who had made the journey to California in search of gold and a new life. This engraving serves as a reminder of the rich history and early beginnings of one of America's most iconic cities.
