This black and white photograph shows a street corner with several people gathered outside a store named "Nee-Wang," which appears to be in Chinatown, San Francisco. The architecture of the buildings is indicative of early 20th-century urban structures. Onlookers stand on the sidewalk, some leaning against each other while others hold onto their hats or luggage. One individual stands alone at the edge of the frame with a noticeable height difference compared to those around him. A man in an overcoat and hat appears more observant than his company as he looks off into the distance away from them.

The storefront displays Chinese characters, hinting that it is likely catering to both local residents or has been influenced by Chineseness of people residing here due to historical reasons. The absence of modern-day elements suggests this photo was taken between 1920 and 1942 during a period when San Francisco's Chinatown experienced significant development.

The overall atmosphere captured in the photograph conveys an everyday scene from urban life, evoking curiosity about what it might have been like to be part of that particular moment or era.

The image depicts a black and white photograph of two children standing on what appears to be an uneven, possibly rocky surface. The child in the foreground is wearing traditional Native American-style clothing including moccasins with fringes, leggings, and a decorated headdress that resembles a snowman or winter scene made up of small objects like beads or seeds. This attire suggests cultural significance, perhaps for dance or ceremony.

The second child stands behind slightly to their right side in the background. They are dressed more conventionally in Western-style clothing with short sleeves and what seems to be light-colored trousers; they wear a hat similar to those worn by Boy Scouts during that era. Their stance is relaxed compared to the child beside them, who appears poised.

There's an aura of stillness or pause as if caught mid-step on their walk down Chinatown streets in San Francisco between 1896 and 1906 based on contextual information given about this image. The black-and-white nature captures a historical moment without color distractions, focusing the viewer’s attention on texture contrasts such as clothing details versus rough ground surface.

The photo's age is indicated by its faded quality and graininess which suggests it has been preserved for over a century from that time period. This snapshot of history offers insight into cultural diversity wit [...]

The image is a black and white photograph depicting an outdoor scene, likely from the late 19th or early 20th century. It shows several individuals on what appears to be a street in Chinatown, San Francisco between 1896 and 1906.
A group of men are gathered around a makeshift stand where flowers and plants are being sold. They seem engaged with the items displayed in front of them or possibly making transactions. Some hold bouquets while others look on as if waiting for their turn to purchase something. The attire suggests a time period, with many wearing hats typical of that era.
In addition to people interacting at the flower stand, other individuals are walking by or standing around nearby structures and buildings in what appears to be an urban setting. There is a bicycle lying unattended on the street near one side of the image. Lamps hanging from above add context about the environment being outdoor public space during that time.
The scene provides insight into daily life and commerce within Chinatown at this specific period, capturing both social interactions as well as architectural elements reflective of urban living in San Francisco over a century ago.

The image depicts a historical street scene, presumably from San Francisco's Chinatown during the late 19th or early 20th century. There are several figures visible: an adult male and two children crossing a dirt road in front of a building with traditional East Asian architectural elements like curved eaves and wooden pillars. The man appears to be wearing a hat, dark coat, trousers, and shoes indicative of the period's attire for men. One child is dressed in what seems to be a patterned jacket or poncho, white pants, and black shoes; this clothing suggests cultural significance, possibly traditional Chinese dress. Another child wears simpler clothes: a light-colored top with stripes down each sleeve paired with darker trousers and brown shoes. The children are wearing hats - likely straw for one, while the other's headwear is not entirely clear.

The environment shows elements of an urban setting from that era such as street lamps reminiscent of early 20th-century designs, wooden barrels on a step beside the building suggesting commerce or storage purposes typical in Chinatown during this period. There are signs with Asian characters affixed to the wall above ground level; these may indicate businesses or establishments within.

The photograph has an age-distressed quality common for older black-and-white images and is labeled "362," possibly indicating a cataloging sys [...]

The image is a black and white photograph depicting an urban street scene with architectural elements that suggest it was taken in the early 20th century, likely between 1920 and 1930. The main focus of the photo appears to be on a corner storefront labeled "CHIN SHOE CO." which has Chinese characters above its entrance, indicating an establishment catering primarily or exclusively towards Asian customers.

In front of this store is a sidewalk bustling with several individuals standing and walking in various directions. These people are dressed in styles indicative of early 20th-century fashion for both men and women, including suits, hats, dresses, and skirts. The presence of these pedestrians suggests the area was active during business hours or possibly near lunchtime.

Behind the store is a multi-story building with fire escapes typical of urban architecture from that period. There's also another street-level shop visible to the right side in the background, but its details are less discernible due to perspective and distance.

A truck parked on the curb hints at commerce and delivery activities within this vicinity. The street itself appears unpaved or has a coarse surface with no sidewalks lined up against it, which is consistent with early 20th-century urban infrastructure.

The black and white photograph depicts a group of five individuals gathered on an urban street, possibly in Chinatown. The setting appears to be from the early 20th century given its style and quality.

Among them is one person wearing a tall dark hat with a wide brim that shades their face, seated or crouching beside what seems like a scale used for weighing goods. Next to this individual stands another man in a lighter colored shirt leaning towards someone on the ground who appears to be working on an item placed near a cart.

In front of them is a young person with dark hair riding a bicycle-like vehicle without pedals, and they are focused intently at something that isn't visible within their frame. Behind this group stands another individual wearing glasses, looking away from the camera's direction towards what could possibly be storefronts or buildings in the distance.

The street where these individuals gather is narrow, with tall structures on both sides creating an enclosed alley-like appearance typical of early urban environments. The lighting suggests a cloudy day as there are no strong shadows cast by any figures present.

The image depicts a scene from what appears to be an outdoor market, likely in the early 20th century given its historical style. There are three individuals present: two men and one boy. The man on the left is seated with his legs crossed, wearing casual clothing including pants and a jacket, which suggests he might not be directly involved in selling fish but perhaps overseeing it or waiting for customers. In contrast, the standing individual at center wears overalls, indicating manual labor such as handling goods, possibly indicative of being a vendor.

The man on the right is actively engaged with another person off-frame; his body language shows him either gesturing to someone beside him or pointing out something in their hands—potentially items for sale. This could imply an interaction between buyer and seller over fish products displayed before them.

In front of these individuals are several large baskets filled with what seems like seafood, including various sizes of fish which suggests that this market specializes in selling different kinds of marine life to customers who may be passing by or residing nearby. The environment is characterized by a worn-out building facade hinting at an older urban setting possibly within Chinatown.

The image depicts a historical scene of four children walking down an urban street, each carrying long sticks or poles. The black and white photograph has a vintage feel, suggesting it was taken during the late 19th century to early 20th century.
Each child is dressed in similar attire: light-colored coats with darker pants, shoes, and hats. They appear focused on their task as they march forward, likely participating in some form of parade or public event given their uniform appearance. The street setting features buildings with signage visible at the top right corner; however, due to its age, it's challenging to determine any specific details about this urban environment.
The photograph is labeled "Pigtail parade" and dated between 1896-1906 according to Pigtail parade, Chinatown, San Francisco by Arnold Genthe. The photographer was known for his work during that era, capturing a range of subjects in various cities across the United States. This particular image falls within Genthe's collection from San Francisco.
The size and medium mentioned as "1 transparency : glass ; 5 x 7 in." indicate it is likely an original photographic negative or positive used by photographers to create prints during that time period, further adding to its historical significance.
