A matched pair of original black and white photographic prints on soft boards depicting rain-soaked San Francisco street scenes with Coit Tower illuminated above the skyline.
Both works are signed “Jimo 1965” within the image.
The reverse of each backing board bears the studio stamp:
Jimo Perini Photos John Tansley, General Manager P.O. Box 2552 San Francisco 94128 673-3690
The five-digit ZIP code confirms mid-1960s production. These are period silver gelatin prints, not later reproductions.
The compositions capture strong architectural perspective, wet street reflections and period vehicles, characteristic of mid-century urban photography. One image is vertical, the other horizontal, forming a complementary display pair.
