A steep San Francisco street descends toward the bay, with a cable car on the tracks in the foreground. Waterfront buildings, piers, and a ship are visible across the water, with hills in the distance. Tall houses and utility poles line the street, creating a classic cityscape view. 1950s.
Back Text (verbatim):
1603—CABLE CAR, HYDE STREET, SAN FRANCISCO.
The cable cars which glide up and down San Francisco's famed hills were invented by Andrew Hallidie in 1873. Regarded with affection by the City's residents they are a reminder of other times in a modern world.
