    Perhaps the most uncommon item we've offered for San Francisco, this folding pocket for the city shows the grid of the town with the single rail line, its “government reservations”, cemeteries and many parks. Most notably the coast line of the town has only a handful of piers sketched in for the “P.M.S.S. Co.” and “Oakland and Alameda Ferry”, as the shore is labeled “The New Sea Wall And Piers Now Being Built By The Board Of State Harbor Commissioners”.

    Condition is good with some separations at the folds, an old supportive fold repair, and some discoloration in the lower left. Image size is 18 x 23.5, uncolored as issued.
