[12] leaves of plates, glossy autotypes from photographs, on a single strip folding accordion style. Plus [11] pp text following the plates. 15.8x7.7 cm (6¼x3¾"), blue embossed cloth covers lettered in gilt.

Charming and scarce souvenir booklet featuring views of San Francisco, the Bay, Donner Lake, Sonoma county, Monterey, the Big Trees, Yosemite Valley, the Tehachapi Loop, etc. The date and imprint are on final plate, along with "Louis Glaser, fec." Three of the images have threads stitched across them apparently to replicate window panes, likely added by a creative former owner, and not an unattractive touch. Label of bookseller's Stoll & Thayer, Los Angeles, to rear pastedown. OCLC/WorldCat lists nine copies, four of which are in California institutional libraries.
