A stunning Wells Fargo photo, most likely taken in San Francisco. Four Victorian era gentlemen pose underneath a large, draped American flag with a hand painted centerpiece that reads: "WELCOME FIREMEN" with a likeness of a helmeted firefighter. This WF&Co. Express Office image is loaded with Wells Fargo signs. The men are flanked on either side by gold lettered WELLS, FARGO & CO's EXPRESS MONEY PAID BY TELEGRAPH windows, small porcelain signs in each window, and a large wood sign above the entrance. Very rare to find this many signs all in one image. From the Ray Bentley Collection.
Condition: (Good).
