This spectacular panoramic photograph captures a sweeping view of the Panama-Pacific International Exposition, from the Presidio to Fort Mason. Beyond that can be seen the San Francisco Bay, including Alcatraz and the Golden Gate in the distance. Taken by Howard Clinton Tibbitts (1863-1937), a professional San Francisco photographer, and one of the official photographers for the P.P.I.E. He was among the original members of The California Camera Club, established in San Francisco in 1890.
