San Francisco: Then and Now

Regional historian and master storyteller John Martini brings the past vividly into the present through the fascinating art of rephotography—the process of locating the exact vantage points of historic photographs and capturing those same scenes today. Using dozens of compelling “then-and-now” comparisons, Martini reveals how some of the Bay Area’s most famous landmarks, including Alcatraz Island, Fort Point, and Sutro Baths, have evolved across more than a century of dramatic change.
