""Old Chinatown: A Book of Pictures"" is a photographic book by Arnold Genthe that was originally published in 1912. The book contains a collection of black and white photographs that document the daily life and culture of San Francisco's Chinatown in the early 20th century. The images capture the people, architecture, and street scenes of the community, providing a glimpse into a world that was largely unknown to outsiders at the time. The book is a visual time capsule that offers a unique perspective on a significant period in American history, and is considered an important work of documentary photography.This scarce antiquarian book is a facsimile reprint of the old original and may contain some imperfections such as library marks and notations.
