During the mid-late 1800s, the Sisters of the Presentation ran several free schools in San Francisco. Due to continuing financial hardships, they were granted special permission by the Archdiocese of San Francisco to charge a small fee for music lessons to help pay for basic necessities, such as food. These young musicians were among those pupils. Note on reverse of photograph: X your Nephew Presentation Convent, Powell and Lombard St.s
