San Francisco Cable Car

I rarely come across this framed San Francisco cable car design, which uses photo-etched sterling silver to map out the transit system's open seating and slatted roofline. A thin metal border surrounds the vehicle, emphasizing its rigid, boxy structure and detailed wheel assembly. The cool silver finish suits the mechanical subject well, giving the historic California landmark a crisp, architectural look.
