Description

This is a copy of a panoramic chromolithograph of a photograph by prolific American photographer William Henry Jackson, 1843-1942 depicting the famous Hotel del Coronado at Coronado, California across the San Diego Bay from San Diego, California. This chromolithograph panorama was published in 1900 by the Detroit Publishing Company to promote southern California tourism.
William Henry Jackson, 1843 – 1942, was an American painter, Civil War veteran, geological survey photographer and an explorer famous for his images of the American West. He was a great-great nephew of Samuel Wilson, the progenitor of America's national symbol Uncle Sam.
Hotel del Coronado, also known as The Del and Hotel Del, is a historic beachfront hotel in the city of Coronado, just across the San Diego Bay from San Diego, California. It is one of the few surviving examples of an American architectural genre: the wooden Victorian beach resort. It is the second largest wooden structure in the United States (after the Tillamook Air Museum in Tillamook, Oregon) and was designated a California Historical Landmark in 1970 and a National Historic Landmark in 1977.
When it opened in 1888, it was the single largest resort hotel in the world. It has hosted presidents, royalty, and celebrities through the years. The hotel has been featured in numerous movies and books.
