Description
This promotional pamphlet was published in San Francisco by the Monticello Steamship Company in 1907. At the time of publication, the company operated ferry routes between San Francisco and Vallejo, where connections to electric lines and paved roads facilitated early tourism to California’s wine country. The bird’s eye view contained within the brochure highlights this transportation network, showing a proposed line extending north to Sacramento and the Mt. Tamalpais Electric Railway. Sonoma, Santa Rosa, and Napa are all also included within the image.
The pamphlet also includes timetables, information on hosted excursions, detailed background on the Napa Valley Route, and photographs of the luxurious amenities available. Printed by Vallejo Chronicle Printers.
