An elegant scene of downtown San Francisco, at Union Square. Facing south, the photographer captures a brilliant panorama of the city scape, the Victoria Monument is a little right of center, with cloudy skies overhead. In view is the St. Francis Hotel, which was quickly rebuilt after the 1906 earthquake. Business men and ladies alike sit on benches in the park, while horse drawn carriages plus a few automobiles are scattered in the streets, and a cable car rushes down towards the Powell Street terminal.
