Offering this beautiful and likely very rare Joe Altman photograph of Alcatraz from Hyde Street Pier, circa 1979. To be clear, the photo was taken in 1979 and the print was done in 1985, as stated on verso. Also a nice personalized birthday wish to a friend on back from Joe. This photo (likely a gelatin silver print) measures 13″ by 9 1/2″ and is mounted to a board with a matte that measures 20″ by 16″. The matte does show a very light bit of dirt here and there but not too bad. Work is pencil signed and dated on front and has other info and personalized message on rear in pencil also. Joe Altman was primarily known for his photos of the gay community in San Francisco in the 70s and 80s. There is little to no sales pricing information out there on his work that I could find. The California Historical Society has a large collection of his work I believe. Also many photos in the Online Archive of California. Thanks for looking and good luck!

An exceptional pair of images taken at Alcatraz Island, off of San Francisco, California, c. 1888 by noted army photographer, Lieut. The first image shows officers and their families in the garden of the citadel and the other shows the citadel structure itself. Condition is very fine, crisp and quite clean, with some foxing and soiling, with inscriptions and stamps verso. These two images presented by the Chaplain, W. , to another member of his family. Each print is approx. 7.50 x 4.50 inches excluding the paper mount. Alcatraz Island is located in San Francisco Bay, 1.25 miles offshore from San Francisco, California, United States. The small island was developed with facilities for a lighthouse, a military fortification, a military prison (1828), and a federal prison from 1934 until 1963. Beginning in November 1969, the island was occupied for more than 19 months by a group of Native Americans from San Francisco, who were part of a wave of Native activism across the nation, with public protests through the 1970s. In 1972, Alcatraz became part of a national recreation area and received designation as a National Historic Landmark in 1986.
