| This is the second of two panoramas of San Francisco
photographed in 1877 by the Eadweard Muybridge.
Muybridge set up a battery of 13 cameras on the
tower of the unfinished Mark Hopkins Mansion at
California and Mason to create this dynamic photograph
of the city and its harbor. Muybridge born in England
in April 9, 1832 would become one of America’s prominent
landscape photographers and earned a reputation
for his photographs of Yosemite and later his work
with his Animal Locomotion series. |
