Description
V1p266e In PHOTO ALBUM-VAULT: ** fc917.9461 A3, Vol. I, page 266 bottom. This photograph is contained in one of two volumes by Dobbin titled "Album of San Francisco." Text written under photo: "A Suicide on the Water Front. 'We are such stuff-as dreams are made on, and our little life is rounded with a sleep.'" Richard H. Dillon, in "San Francisco: Adventurers and Visionaries," gives this same photo the following caption: "Dock loafers were the 19th-century equivalents of the sidewalk supervisors of today around construction sites." Whatever the reason, this photo shows a man lying down in some sort of cart while another man is next to him looking at the camera. Negative, no. 5,380.
