Original Pastel Drawing on The First American Map of the Bay of San Diego

Created in the early 1990s, this is an example of the original artwork of Frank Parsons, who has drawn the iconic Star of India on a modern copy of the US Coast Survey's first mapping of San Diego Bay.

The plan of the harbor covers the area from Point Loma and La Playa in the west to Shelter Island, with extensive soundings taken. Point Loma, Ballast Point, La Playa, an Observatory, ship wreck and various buoys are noted. Larger inset diagram shows the entire bay. Extensive sailing notes in the upper left corner. One of the earliest obtainable maps of San Diego.
