Summary edit

Non-free media information and use rationale true for Terrific Street
Description

1909 photograph of the dancehalls along San Francisco's Pacific Street, looking west from Montgomery Street towards Kearney Street, during the Terrific Street era. The buildings for Spider Kelly's, the Hippodrome, and Purcell's So Different Cafe are still standing as of the 21st-century. This version of the photo was cropped for a comparison to another photo of the same buildings from the 21st-cenctury. The original photograph is actually a superimposition of two different negatives.

Article

Terrific Street

Portion used

The source photo was cropped. This is just a portion of the original photo.

Low resolution?

The image is of significantly lower resolution than others scans available from the San Francisco History Center.

Purpose of use

Within the Terrific Street article the image itself is discussed, as it is paired with another photo from the present which is taken from the same viewpoint. And that comparison is discussed in the opposing text which is titled "Pacific Street Today," and describes the changes that time has brought to the nightclubs' buildings (shown in photo) over the past century.

Replaceable?

There are no other photos of this segment (with Spider Kelly's, the Hippodrome, and Purcell's) of Pacific Street during this era (1900 - 1921) as free material (public domain, etc), and so no other image could be a valid replacement.

Other information

The photo was taken in 1909, is before 1923, and may not have an original copyright owner.

  • The San Francisco History Center, while not willing to release the image under a free license, has given explicit written permission for use of the image on Wikipedia with appropriate attribution. This alleviates any legal concerns, and the photo's caption as used in this article provides the required attribution with a credit line.
  • However, even if this were not the case, the image would be legal under a claim of fair use as it is of low resolution and unsuitable for high-quality copies, would not decrease commercial demand for the original, is not used or sold for profit, and is used in the context of an educational discussion regarding the image.
