About the Item
This black-and-white photograph captures the classic charm of San Francisco’s iconic cable cars. Taken in the 1960s, the image shows a boy hanging from the side of the cable car as it climbs one of the city’s steep hills. The vintage tram is adorned with advertisements for local attractions like Powell and Market, Hyde Beach, and Fisherman’s Wharf, emphasizing the cultural richness of the area. In the background, the serene waters of the bay stretch out to Alcatraz Island, providing a striking contrast to the urban landscape. The photograph evokes a sense of nostalgia for the golden era of San Francisco’s cable car rides, showcasing both the city’s unique topography and its historical landmarks.
Erich Andres was born in Germany in 1905 and passed away in 1992. He began his career as a photographer in 1920 and was one of the first to use a Leica camera. Today, his work is exhibited in several museums, including the Civil War Museum in Salamanca, Spain, the Olympic Museum in Lausanne, Switzerland, and the Industrial Museum in Oberhausen, Germany. In 1951, Andres contributed to Edward Steichen's iconic exhibition "The Family of Man" at the Museum of Modern Art in New York.
This print is available as a Fine Art Print on high-quality paper (Hahnemühle FineArt Baryta) and is produced by Whitewall. It will be shipped carefully in a tube to reduce shipping costs.
