Original Photo Of Chinatown San Francisco Street Scene -

San Francisco, [ca 1900]. Silver print, 3.75" x 4.5" on 5.25" x 6.25" gray mount, embossed border. An appealing shot of street life in San Francisco's Chinatown circa 1900, showing women and children crossing a cobblestone street (probably Clay Street), men standing on a corner, and a sign reading "Wong Woo Tea & Herb Sanitarium" over an awning on a three-story brick building. Wong Wo was a Chinese American herbalist located on Clay Street who advertised in the papers of the day, as a quick google search reveals.

CONDITION: Very good.
