San Francisco, 1914 Photographic Image. Fine. No Binding. Original Sepia-Toned Photograph. Approx. 20 x 9.25 inches. Titled and dated in ink at lower left of image. Beautifully matted and framed. Slight fading, but an exquisite copy. A possibly unique image of San Francisco's Palace of Fine Arts just before completion.

Hannah - Contractor / Dec., 1914." It shows the Palace with scaffolding, almost completed for the opening of the Exposition. The Exposition was held from Feb. 4 to Dec. 4, 1915. This…
