San Francisco Early Prints: 1848-1900 is the result of a collaboration between print collector and dealer Kathleen Manning, the State Library, and Windgate Press. Recognizing that scarce early prints of San Francisco have become so expensive and difficult to obtain at any price, the collaborators decided to publish a group of the most desirable prints.
