Magnus - View of San Francisco, California
This detailed, hand-colored steel engraving of an American landscape was published by Charles Magnus & Co. in New York circa 1856. The engravings were trimmed and mounted to black mounting boards with elegant gold ruling to border and over printed title.
Julian Carl (Charles) Magnus (1826-1900) was born in Germany but emigrated to New York in 1848. He and his publishing firm printed many views and maps, especially of American locations. He also produced letter sheets, song sheets, envelopes, and separate prints. He also published material on the Civil War.
