Street Scene, San Diego

There is a long perspective, with a large double-decked trolley car in the distance, which approaches and passes the audience. Both decks are crowded with passengers, on their way to a football game, which is advertised on the side of the car. When close to the camera they rise to their feet and wave their handkerchiefs and hats. A large number of bicycle riders, pedestrians, bystanders and carriages add to the action. Sharp and clear.
