San Francisco, the city of the Golden Gate : being twenty-five reproductions in photogravure from etchings and drawings
A 1916 Boston collection of twenty-five photogravure reproductions of etchings and drawings by Joseph Pennell, depicting San Francisco for a general art-loving readership. The pictures are tonal black-and-white views of steep streets, cable-car tracks, and rising city blocks, with dense cross-hatching and soft smoky skies that show how line and shadow can build atmosphere and depth in city scenes.
