Description

A great vintage color postcard of California. The card image features the Entrance - Doorway of Fine Arts Gallery to the California-Pacific International Exposition, 1935. The California Pacific International Exposition was an exposition held in San Diego, California during May 29, 1935–November 11, 1935. The exposition was held in Balboa Park, San Diego's large central urban park, which had also been the site of the earlier Panama-California Exposition in 1915. The Exposition was held to promote San Diego and support its economy, which had slowed with the country's Great Depression. The exposition had hundreds of exhibits on history, the arts, horticulture, ethnic cultures, science, and industry. The card was published by John Sirigo, Official Photographer. The card has not been postmarked. The card measures 3 1/2 " by 5 1/2". It displays very nice color, clarity and detail.
