From back of photograph: "New Year Chinese Lion + Dragon Dance." A nightime Chinese parade through San Francisco (probably for the Chinese New Year). A Chinese man in the foreground helps guide a large lion puppet through the street. Dozens of tiny firecrackers produce puffs of smoke all around the lion. In the background, throngs of spectators line the sidewalks. A street sign reading "Geary" is barely visible.
