1940 Pacifica San Francisco Expo California

Journey back to the awe and ambition of the 1939–1940 World's Fair on San Francisco’s Treasure Island with this striking 1940 linen postcard featuring the towering figure of Pacifica. Created as the serene guardian of the Golden Gate International Exposition, Pacifica watched over the Court of the Seven Seas with quiet strength and grace. Her stylized form, draped in flowing robes and crowned with an elegant headdress, symbolized peace in the Pacific—an ideal cherished deeply in those pre-war years.

Set against a clear blue sky and framed by the warm tones of surrounding architecture, the statue dwarfs the visitors below, reminding us of how small we can feel in the presence of vision and artistry. This postcard captures not just a sculpture, but a fleeting moment of hope and harmony in American history.

This postcard would look great framed, make a wonderful host or hostess gift, or make an excellent addition to any collection.
