Palace of Fine Arts, San Francisco, 1926. This elegant postcard captures the timeless beauty of the Palace of Fine Arts, the last surviving structure from the grand 1915 Panama-Pacific International Exposition. Designed by visionary architect Bernard Maybeck, the Palace was conceived as a tranquil escape, a place of reflection and quiet amidst the energy of the world’s fair. Its classical rotunda and colonnades evoke ancient Rome, rising gracefully beside a still lagoon. By 1926, this masterpiece had already become a beloved San Francisco landmark, nestled in the Marina District near the Presidio and Yacht Harbor. A lasting tribute to art, architecture, and the imagination of a city rebuilding after the 1906 earthquake.
This postcard would look great framed, make a wonderful host or hostess gift, or make an excellent addition to any collection.
