Pair of vintage 20" x 24" framed black & white prints of the famous Second Cliff House at Seal Rocks, San Francisco. These are the Marilyn Blaisdell Collection reprints of original photos from 1896-1907.
This was the grand 7-story Victorian "Gingerbread Palace" built by Adolph Sutro in 1896 after the first Cliff House burned in 1894. It survived the 1906 earthquake and burned down Sept. 7, 1907.
Includes:
Daytime view circa 1900 - road with horse carriage, rider on white horse, Seal Rocks and sailing ship in background.
Famous nighttime lightning view - Early 1900s long-exposure by Tsunekichi Imai. He waited on the beach until 2 a.m. in a thunderstorm to catch the lightning as his flash.
Both in light wood frames with glass, 20x24. Good vintage condition, some light age toning. Pick-up in Modesto.
$50 for the pair, cash only.
