"Birdseye View of the Pan.-Int. Int. Exposition"
"Pan.-Pac. Int. Exposition, San Francisco, 1915, No. 15" from the art print book Views Of The PPIE Exposition.
This is the only print in the collection with copyright information--and the only one with text imposed on the image. (All plates in the book--including this one--credit the printer on the reverse.) The plate is also slightly narrower (or taller) than the rest. It seems likely that this image was created for some other purpose and was added to the book later.
The fairground's layout and scale (compared with city blocks) are clearer on this map. The main buildings were enormous.
