This year marks the 150th anniversary of San Francisco’s Golden Gate Park. Photographer R.J. Waters documented daily life in Golden Gate Park between the years of 1896 and 1902. These photographs, many of which are now over 120 years old, feature early scenes of many locations that remain recognizable to today’s visitors to the park—Stow Lake, the Polo Fields, the Japanese Tea Garden, and the Conservatory of Flowers, among others.
