After moving to Boston in 1864, he established himself as a portrait and carriage painter before making his way to California in 1895 via the Isthmus of Panama. Primus settled in San Francisco where he remained. While working at McEvers Delicatessen, in his leisure he painted cityscapes as well as portrai (showing 500 of 1409 characters). |
