Description
V1p437a In PHOTO ALBUM-VAULT: ** fc917.9461 A3, Vol. I, page 437 top. This photograph is contained in one of two volumes by Dobbin titled "Album of San Francisco." Text written under photo: "Chinatown. New Year, Jackson Street. 1902. 'Fireworks by the yard.'" Photo shows Jackson Street filled with smoke from the multitude of fireworks being set off. The view is post-fire judging by the architecture, and can be dated to after 1910 since the Chinese men in the photo are in Western dress and have cut off their queues. Pigtails were dispensed with after the Chinese Revolution. A tailor shop is seen in the center of the photo.
