Description:

Duotone lithograph. 43x56 cm (17x22") plus margins.

Rare and quite significant lithographed broadside advertisement for the sale of tracts of land in what is now the southern San Francisco neighborhood of Potrero Hill. A large central image of the property titled "View of Part of the Tract on Fifteenth Avenue," with men standing around, is flanked by two columns of descriptive text and terms of sale. At each corner is a vignette view, titled, clockwise from upper left: View of the Tract Looking Toward the Mission; View of the Tract Looking Toward the Bay; View of the Tract Looking South-East; View of the Tract on Sixteenth Avenue. The Haley and O'Neill Homestead Association offered lots for $10 per month, with the total payment being $510 to acquire a lot. No copies of this broadside are listed in OCLC.

Browning to the paper, which is fragile; 2 tears into the image each about 9" with slight loss, a few short tears, marginal chips, some creasing; a rare print in need of, and worthy of, restoration.
