Image:SanFrancisco1851a.jpg, featured

•  Info An 1851 daguerrotype of Portsmouth Square, San Francisco. During the daguerrotype era portraiture predominated. Street scenes were unusual and this - from the height of the California gold rush - has particular historical value. Focus is good enough that most of the building signs are legible. I've kept the file on the large side for that reason. Removed the artifacts painstakingly with (I hope) minimal affect to actual data. Adjusted the histogram and denoised the sky. No other changes from Image:SanFrancisco1851.jpg. Created by unknown - uploaded by Durova - nominated by Durova. --Durova 02:12, 12 January 2008 (UTC)
