This finely detailed framed etching captures a classic San Francisco Chinatown street scene, prominently featuring a cable car climbing a steep hill beneath a traditional pagoda-style building. In the background, early city high-rises rise through drifting clouds, blending Eastern architectural influence with the unmistakable urban character of San Francisco.
The work is rendered in expressive black-and-white linework, with careful attention to depth, motion, and atmosphere. The etching is pencil titled “Chinatown Cable” at the lower left and signed by the artist at the lower right (signature present but not fully legible), indicating an original artist-signed print rather than a mass reproduction.
Professionally matted with a black mat and housed in a deep reddish-brown wood frame, this piece presents with a strong gallery presence and is ready to hang. A wonderful choice for collectors of San Francisco history, urban etchings, or architectural artwork.
