Muybridge Panoramic

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.
