Content description:
A 4x5 transparency shows the left side of a street lined with two- and three-story buildings in San Francisco's Chinatown. Many blocks in the distance, the Bay Bridge is visible at the end of the street. Many neon signs advertise in English and Chinese: Fook Sing Grocery, Songhay Tea House, Double Happiness Restaurant, Jackson Chow Mein, Sun Tai Sam Yuen. Cars are parked along the sidewalk on the left side of the street; the nearest is a four-door Dodge station wagon. A man in a jacket and tie walks towards the viewer in front of the Fook Sing Grocery. There is a strong diagonal perspective and a wealth of detail. Handwritten on the envelope: Chinatown, S. F.
