Title: The only correct & fully complete map of San Francisco. Compiled from the original map & the recent surveys, containing all the latest extensions & improvements, new streets, alleys, places, wharfs & division of wards, respectfully dedicated to the city authorities Author: Zakreski, Alexander Place: San Francisco Publisher: For Sale by Cook, Kenny & Co. Date: 1853 Description: Lithographed map. 25x33 cm. (9¾x13"), professionally backed with tissue, hinged to mat. Rare map of San Francisco from Larkin Street east, with additional portions of the Mission and Western Addition. There are letter references to places on the map, 12 to buildings, and 11 to churches. The original coastline is shown, and the extent of San Francisco built on landfill is amazing. There was also lettersheet version, published a year after this one, with vignettes of eight buildings on the sides, OCLC/WorldCat lists only one copy of this 1853 issue, at the University of California, Berkeley, and none of the lettersheet version. Heckrotte, Preliminary List of Maps of San Francisco, 1849 to 18- (unpublished). There are old folds evident, since flattened when backed with tissue, and there are a few old ink notations on verso indicating this was used for legal purposes, with reference to Claim 235 (the notations are just visible on the recto of the map). Lot Amendments Condition: Very good or better condition. Item number: 244802
