North Dome from Tis-sa-ack Bridge B2647 [Photograph]

San Francisco: Taber Photo. Photograph. Very Good. Photograph [4 7/8 x 7 7/8"] on a gray mount [12 1/2 x 18 3/4"]. Tiny loss to the top fore-edge corner of the mount. Two short closed tears with a 1 1/2" crease between them to the top edge. I. W. Taber (1830-1912) opened his gallery on San Francisco's Montgomery Street in 1871. His business was well known for portraiture and and a plethora of California and Western views- quite a few of which were the unacknowledged works of other photographers. Taber enjoyed success outside of California as well. He was sent to London in 1897 to photograph the pageant of the Queen Victoria Jubilee. Tragically, Taber's career came to a halt when he lost his gallery and negative collection in 1906 due to the San Francisco earthquake and fire. (Information from Online Archive of California).
