A 4x5 transparency shows the sidewalk counter of the Fisherman's Grotto restaurant under its corrugated fiberglass awning. A shopkeeper wearing a blue tunic with gold lapels and one yellow stripe on each cuff holds a cooked Dungeness crab in each hand as a man in a brown suit and tie looks on. A cash register sits on the counter in the left foreground; beyond it are piles of crabs and other fare. Signs hanging above the counter read: Try Our Walkaway Cocktails and Local Live or Cooked Crabs. Two women walk away from the viewer in the distance. Handwritten on the envelope: Fisherman's Wharf S. F. - 1964
