About this image
Lombard Street and Coit Tower on Telegraph Hill in San Francisco, California.
Originally named Loma Alta ("High Hill") by the Spaniards, the hill was then familiarly known as Goat Hill by the early San Franciscans, and became the neighborhood of choice for many Irish immigrants. From 1825 through 1847, the area between Sansome and Battery, Broadway and Vallejo streets was used as a burial ground for foreign non-Catholic seamen.
The hill owes its name to a semaphore, a windmill-like structure erected in September 1849, for the purpose of signaling to the rest of the city the nature of the ships entering the Golden Gate. Atop the newly built house, the marine telegraph consisted of a pole with two raisable arms that could form various configurations, each corresponding to a specific meaning: steamer, sailing boat, etc. The information was used by observers operating for financiers, merchants, wholesalers and speculators.
Lombard Street is an east–west street in San Francisco, California. It is famous for having a steep, one-block section that consists of eight tight hairpin turns.

Received canvas in a very timely manner and packaged with care. I would highly recommend! Now that my husband opened the canvas, he was shocked. We've been trying to capture that "shot" for years. It is proudly displayed in our living room for everyone to see.
I ordered the materials for my project here, and everything went smoothly. Very professional. Good prices and better materials. ✅👏🏼
Bought one of Adam's prints as a gift for my wife on her birthday and we both love it. He emailed me to let me know there could be a delay because of the fires in California, and he was upgrading our shipping. It arrived on time and was packaged very securely.
