Wide view of a hand-painted sign shop on a San Francisco street corner

This wider view places the sign workshop within its urban setting. The pale façade forms the corner, and number 2331 is visible in the glazed transom above the doorway. A hanging sign, two tall panels and a large rolling counter present the lettering work from the pavement, while brushes and tins can be seen inside. The street drops towards roofs and hills, lined with close-set homes, overhead wires and parked cars. Architecture, sloping pavement and the open workshop share the frame without inferring a full address or a name that is not readable.
