San Francisco: A View Down California Street From Nob Hill. Unframed 20 x 24 Framed Dimensions are 30 x 34. Thom signature on back of canvas. San Francisco California Street. I was recently talking to a friend who had relocated near San Francisco and who had never before been to that city. I was trying to summarize my various feelings about one of my favorite cities and found words completely inadequate to explain the sensations that grip me when I’m in San Francisco. Perhaps that’s why I’m an artist. The lights, the mood, the flying flags and windswept wisps of fog, the bustling people and quaint bits of architecture that are San Francisco can perhaps best be captured on canvas. Yet even this is inadequate, for a purely visual image cannot relate the ambient sounds and smells that are so much a part of the City by the Bay. For example, if you were standing at the location I painted, your ears would probably be filled with the sounds of clanging cable car bells, the whistle of hotel bellmen flagging taxis, and perhaps the lonely call of seagulls overhead. Likewise, if you took a deep breath you might notice the aroma of fried rice rising from Chinatown below, or perhaps the pungent smell of sourdough bread that seems at times to be omnipresent in San Francisco.

A whimsical pictorial view of the Potrero Hill, Dogpatch, and Mission Bay neighborhoods of San Francisco, produced in 1988 by City Graphics. It serves as an important reminder of the drastic changes, as well as some continuities, in the area over the past several decades. The view is oriented towards the north, with San Francisco Bay at right and the U. 101 highway at left. Interstate-280 also appears towards the right, giving the viewer some recognizable landmarks for orientation. However, liberties have been taken with geography and perspective, which are’twisted,’ perhaps to fit in more businesses. A text box above the title introduces the neighborhood and its history, including its growth in the aftermath of the 1906 earthquake and fire. Several of the businesses present here still exist, including but not limited to the Bottom of the Hill, Goat Hill Pizza, the Bay View Boat Club, and the Anchor Brewing Co. San Francisco’s oldest brewery (recently closed, perhaps forever). Others were local institutions at the time but have since closed, such as the Pickle Family Circus. The area near the Mission Creek Channel (the greenspace at top-center) has undergone tremendous change since this view was published. At that time, it was a mostly industrial area, but has since been redeveloped, with luxury condominiums and high-end restaurants adjacent to the newly-built Chase Center (home of the Golden State Warriors), UCSF Mission Bay medical campus, and the Kaiser Permanente Mission Bay Medical Offices. Another notable addition is the San Francisco Muni’s T Third Street light rail line, which began operations in 2007 and was recently extended to Union Square and Chinatown via the Central Subway project. This view was designed and illustrated by Rob Zell-Breier and published by City Graphics in 1988.

This is an original photograph attributed as 1099 Sutter Street named after the Johann A. Sutter measuring approximately 4 x 4 7/8 inches on its original hard backing. First 19th century photo I have seen with the exposure time on the back. Johann Augustus Sutter (February 15, 1803 – June 18, 1880) was a Swiss pioneer of California known for his association with the California Gold Rush by the discovery of gold by James W. Marshall and the mill making team at Sutter’s Mill, and for establishing Sutter’s Fort in the area that would eventually become Sacramento, the state’s capital. Although famous throughout California for his association with the Gold Rush, Sutter saw his business ventures fail while those of his elder son, John Augustus Sutter, Jr. Sellers: Get your own map of past buyers.

VIEW from CALIFORNIA ST HILL. BEST OFFERS CONSIDERED – This photograph comes from my father’s photo collection. It is priced high because I’m not sure of its value. I see hardly any other Watkins photographs for sale online as they are an even hotter commodity these days than in the old days…
