Description
Blue paper mat occurs on known William Shew images, but it is not certain if this one is original or was added by a collector at a later time. The Picayune was published from August 3, 1850 until April 17, 1852. Right reading, three-quarter view of a street corner. Several men in top hats stand in front of newspaper buildings, which house the Evening Picayune and the San Francisco Herald. Samuel Brannan stands at right in his office doorway, and Andrew J. Moulder is at right in the doorway of the Herald office. In addition to newspaper signs, other signs read: Schloss Brothers, A.I. Tobias & Co., Neustadt & Barnett, S. Brannan, Cafe Zur[...], and Groc[eries].
