NEW-YORK DAILY TRIBUNE, Aug. 29, 1849 The front page of this issue features a terrific engraving headed: "A View Of The Town And Harbor Of San Francisco." The engraving is five columns wide and measures 7 by 11 5/8 inches. In addition to the engraving are several reports "From The Gold Region".
The reports include: "Beach Combers--Inspectors--Land Speculators--Goods--Advice to those having the California Fever" "The Adeline--The Climates--Bay of San Francisco--The Tide and Harbor--Boating--An Accident--Another New-York" & "Mining--$15,000 in Seven Weeks--Justice to a Chilean--Arrivals --Ship Philadelphia Burnt--Seamen's Wages."
Wonderful and very rare to find with a large and very detailed engraving of San Francisco during the height of the Gold Rush. This may be the earliest imagine of the city to appear in a newspaper.
Four pages, very nice condition.
