2015 IN RESEARCH: Findings, Ferretings & [F]otographs — Fantastic!
Detail of photograph of the second-floor Library Room of the 1866 building of the Mechanics' Institute, San Francisco. The Institute was a regular afternoon haunt of Emperor Norton. He wrote many of his Proclamations there and would have been very familiar with this room. Source: Mechanics' Institute.
