Wood engravings from Oct. 25, 1879 issue of "Harper's Weekly" showing 2 San Francisco scenes. At top, "WATCHING FOR THE STEAMER." showing crowd, possibly on Telegraph Hill. Lower scene is a bow view of "THE 'CITY OF TOKIO' STEAMING UP THE BAY." through the Golden Gate, accompanied by tugboat RESCUE and other steamers. Signed "F. S. COZZENS" lower left.
