This is the second of two panoramas of San Francisco photographed by the British photographer, Eadweard Muybridge. The first series was in January of 1877. He returned a year later and again set up a battery of 13 cameras on the tower of the unfinished Mark Hopkins Mansion at California and Mason; each one aimed at a different part of the City.
