Title:
[View of Alcatraz from Green & Taylor Streets]
Creator/Contributor:
Watkins, Carleton E., 1829-1916., photographer
Date:
[between 1857 and 1860?]
Note:
Alcatraz at center, Meigg's Wharf at right, with ship on bay. Numerous residences in foreground (in the North Beach area,
and lower slope of Russian Hill.) Angel Island and Tiburon visible on horizon.
Smaller than Watkins' later mammoth plate prints, and similar in size to his 1859 Mariposa Estate views.
Attribution and location in pencil on verso. Also dated in pencil: 1857 [or 1867?]. Salted paper medium, dimensions, and comparison
to similar Watkins view of Washerwoman's Lagoon and the Golden Gate suggest a date of ca. 1857-1859.
