San Francisco Skyline, 1943. This postcard offers a distant view across the water of San Francisco’s striking skyline during the World War II era. The city’s mix of tall and shorter buildings rises against the backdrop of a large hill, showcasing its unique blend of natural and urban beauty. Boats move quietly across the bay, hinting at the city’s constant connection to the sea and its vital role as a port during this time. The image captures a moment of resilience and steady progress amid a world at war.
The photograph is credited to Gabriel Moulin, a renowned American photographer celebrated for his extensive documentation of the city and surrounding Bay Area. Moulin’s work spans several decades, preserving key moments in San Francisco’s architectural and cultural history with exceptional clarity and artistry.
This postcard would look great framed, make a wonderful host or hostess gift, or make an excellent addition to any collection.
