This postcard features San Francisco's cable car system, the world's last manually operated system operating continuously since 1878.  Published in 1988, it captures the city just four years after a major system reconstruction completed in 1984. At this time, cable cars were at their peak in American tourism after being designated a National Historic Landmark in 1964. The intersection shown sits at the heart of San Francisco's Chinatown, the oldest Chinatown in North America, established during the Gold Rush era in the 1850s. Just two blocks south on Grant Avenue stood the famous Dragon Gate, opened in 1970, which had become one of the most photographed locations in Chinatown by 1988. - Publisher/card company: Smith Novelty Co., San Francisco - Photographer credit: Sandor Balatoni - Number: E-140 - Copyright year: 1988, printed in Korea Shipping and Handling: Carefully packaged to ensure safe arrival Shipped promptly (same day for orders before noon) Tracking information provided Questions about this postcard?
