“Perspective of the Main Exhibit Palaces, looking towards San Francisco Bay.”
Illustration in the 1915 Panama Pacific International Exposition Program Booklet.
“The site, in its combination of scenic beauty and practical advantages, is probably unequaled in the world. It is a natural amphitheater covering 635 acres, backed by residence-covered hills, flanked by the wooded heights and fortifications of the Presidio, fronting on the wonderful, blue, island-studded Bay of San Francisco, just inside the portals of the famous ‘Golden Gate.’ The Exposition City which covers these 635 acres is the realized dream of the best architectural genius of America, supplemented by all that famous artists can do in color, all that modern science can do in lighting effects and all that skilled gardeners and the California climate can do in flowers and trees. Its beauty will live in the memory of beholders as long as memory itself endures.” [Accompanying description]
