Signed Black and White Photograph of the San Francisco Skyline

This item is a framed, black and white fine art photograph featuring a nocturnal cityscape of San Francisco, California. The composition centers on the iconic Transamerica Pyramid, towering over the illuminated neighborhood and urban streetscape. The photograph utilizes a long exposure or specific aperture settings to create prominent 'bokeh' or lens flare artifacts—circular light orbs that dance across the upper portion of the frame, adding a dreamlike, atmospheric quality to the urban scene. In the foreground, traditional San Francisco architecture and parked vintage-style vehicles suggest a late 20th-century setting, likely the 1970s or 1980s based on the car models. The photograph is presented behind glass in a white mat and a simple black frame. Notably, there is a handwritten pencil signature in the lower right margin and a title or edition note in the lower left margin, though the specific script is partially obscured by reflections in the provided image. The print appears to be on a high-quality matte or satin photographic paper. The condition seems excellent, with the matting showing no visible foxing or yellowing, and the photograph itself maintaining deep blacks and crisp highlights. The framing is consistent with gallery standards, providing a professional presentation for collector-grade photography. The craftsmanship is evident in the balance of the night-time exposure, managing the high contrast between the dark sky and the brilliant city lights without significant loss of detail.
