EDITORS COMMENTS
This print takes us back to May 1936, capturing the iconic Golden Gate Bridge during its construction in the San Francisco Bay. The brainchild of engineer Joseph Strauss, this magnificent suspension bridge would go on to become the largest of its kind in the world. The image showcases a general view of the bridge, highlighting its grandeur against a backdrop of fog-kissed landscape. It serves as a testament to human ingenuity and determination, as workers tirelessly labored on this monumental project that began on January 5th, 1933. On May 27th, 1937, Franklin Delano Roosevelt himself inaugurated this engineering marvel by pushing a button all the way from Washington D. C. , signaling the official start of vehicle traffic over the bridge. This historic moment marked not only an incredible feat of construction but also symbolized unity and progress for San Francisco and beyond. As we gaze upon this timeless photograph today, it reminds us of both our past achievements and our limitless potential for creating wonders that stand against time itself. The Golden Gate Bridge remains an enduring symbol not just for San Francisco but for humanity's ability to conquer seemingly insurmountable challenges with vision and unwavering dedication.
