    Description

    Offered is a lot of six b/w photographs depicting the construction on
    Treasure Island and Yerba Buena island for the Golden gate Exposition of 1939-40. Halfway between San Francisco and the East Bay lies the
    island
    duo of Treasure
    Island
    and
    Yerba Buena Island
    . Though connected, one is natural and the other is
    man-made
    . By 1934, the choice of sites had been narrowed to the areas adjoining the two bridges: either "an island built up from shallow water" north of Yerba Buena Island which would go on to be named Treasure Island. Treasure Island, a flat, geometrically shaped, artificial island attached to Yerba Buena Island, was built for the Exposition near where the Oakland span and the San Francisco span of the Bay Bridge join. These six images depict just a small portion of the construction. Five are 8” x 10” with the first being 7 ½” x 10” and it has a note stating it will be the Air Terminal Building. Clean with a might curl.
