In this virtual presentation hosted by Western Neighborhoods Project (WNP), author and historian John Martini demonstrates how he uses re-photography of historic images to research such iconic Bay Area sites as Alcatraz Island, Fort Point and Sutro Baths. The show includes dozens of comparison photographs of San Francisco during the 19th century and the same views today, illustrating the dramatic evolution of the city from a wind-blown frontier village to today’s metropolis.
