"Old Fisherman's Wharf - 1915" by Paul McGehee. The famous San Francisco waterfront as it appeared over a century ago. The State of California designated the area between the foot of Taylor and Leavenworth Streets back in 1900 to be for commercial fishing boats, many captained by Italian and Chinese immigrants who were known for painting their vessels in bright colors. It has always been one of the most picturesque spots in San Francisco. Instead of making sales of their catch from their boats, they now had a dedicated area in which were built stalls to sell fish and crabs directly to the public along the docks. The main buildings in this 1915 view of the Fisherman's Free Market burned two years later in 1917...in recent years it has been the site of large seafood restaurants to serve the many tourists who flock to the area. "Old Fisherman's Wharf - 1915" is faithfully reproduced as an archival-quality print from McGehee's original color pencil and acrylic artwork, each hand-signed by the artist.
