Fanciful and whimsical map of Treasure Island, an artificial construction for the Golden Gate International Exposition held in 1939 and 1940.
The Golden Gate International Exposition was a "World's Fair" held to celebrate the completion of two bridges, the Golden Gate and the Oakland Bay Bridge. It was also used as a promotion for San Francisco as an international port.
Although dated 1939, this example bears the addition of (17) Yacht Harbour on the key, dating it to a 1940 example.
Beautiful example of pre-World War II ephemera. Printed colour. [USA9621]
