Description
Photographer Francis Forshew is the only known photographer of the 1850s with this surname. He was active in Hudson, New York from 1851-1859 and perhaps later. It seems this image was mistakenly identified as San Francisco or any other California locale. Listed in Hudson, New York, 1851-1859. Image of a two story building with men in front. One man wears skirt hoops over trousers, another holds a liquor bottle. Sign reads "C.P. Lawrence" over entrance, and building next door advertises "Prescription / Drug Store / Liquors & Groceries / Paints, Oils, & Dye Stuffs."
