Eadweard Muybridge and the Photographic Panorama of San Francisco, 1850-1880 (Canadian Centre for Architecture)

"These photographs from the CCA collection and other private and public collections document one of the supreme technical and conceptual achievements in the history of architectural photography." This elegant book reproduces Muybridge's stunning albumen panoramas while documenting a now-vanished San Francisco.
