Unemployed men on Howard Street. San Francisco, California
Summary
Picryl description: Public domain image of San Francisco during the Great Depression, free to use, no copyright restrictions image.
Originally a Spanish (later Mexican) mission and pueblo, it was conquered by the United States in 1846 and by an invading army of prospectors following the 1848 discovery of gold in its hinterland. The Gold Rush made San Francisco a cosmopolitan metropolis with a frontier edge. In early 1900s the city tried to remake itself into a grand and modern Paris of the West.
