    Image of a depiction of the Sutro Baths located in San Francisco, California. Sutro Baths was a complex of multiple public saltwater baths that opened to the general public in 1896 by philanthropist Adolph Sutro. The colorful lithograph is large in size and was printed in four sheets. Images include a row of multiple swimmers lined up along railings, figures performing swimming techniques in water, athletes performing trapeze acts, spectators watching from balconies, and other individuals performing recreational activities in the indoor pool and gymnasium. Building is multiple stories high, with high-vaulted ceilings. Green load-bearing posts and columns hold the structure in place. Green staircases and ladders are depicted in the large complex, along with black and white lamps hanging from the ceiling. Background depiction of the balcony includes decorative green plants and foliage surrounding the space.
