COMMENTS:
Very good condition. Good Margins - a little shallow at the bottom (varying from 7/16" to 11/16"), probably as issued. Remains of mounting tape, upper left and right corners. Printed on extremely fine tissue. WPA FAP artist. Signed and dated in pencil, Mallette Dean, and monogrammed in the block, lower right, "HMD" (Harold Mallette Dean). A beautiful depiction of San Francisco's Fort Point, positioned under the southern end of the Golden Gate Bridge, as viewed from the ocean side of the bridge. The bridge soars above. Though the edition size of this print was not small, 150, it has become somewhat scarce - possibly due to the printing on thin tissue paper and its susceptibility to damage and shrinkage. Print published by the San Francisco Chronicle as part of their 1940 contemporary graphics program.
