  
The images reproduced in this notecard set will trigger memories in anyone who has visited San Francisco in mid- or late summer. They depict five emblematic aspects of the city--the fifth one being the seemingly ever-present fog that drives quivering, too-lightly clad tourists into cafes and corner stores in desperate search of coffee or anything else that will warm them up.
It’s beautiful stuff, though, lending every headlight, street lamp, and neon sign a nimbus of dancing particles, swallowing sound, and bringing the scale of one’s surroundings down to intimate proportions. In his subtle portrayals of Alcatraz, the Golden Gate Bridge, two architectural treasures, and that ultimate San Francisco icon, the cable car, Londoner Rob Duncan has captured an essential quality of the city, and one that doesn’t often find its way into the tourist brochures.
Includes The Golden Gate Bridge, Cable Car, Alcatraz, and The Transamerica Pyramid and Coit Tower. Twenty full-color 5 x 7" blank notecards (five each of four styles) with white envelopes in a decorative box. ISBN 0-7649-3737-5.
