| Notes |
Written on back: "At the northern terminus of the Golden Gate International Exposition's main axis is the Court of Pacifica. East and west walls of this court, designed by Timothy Pflueger, will carry huge murals. One of these murals, a section of which is shown here, is being done by the Bruton sisters, noted California artists. The great panel will be called the 'Peacemakers', and will constitute the 'theme piece' of the Exposition, emphasizing the Fair's underlying motif, Pacific peace and unity. The finished panel will be 144 feet long and 57 feet in hight. It will be made up of 270 units, four feet by eight feet in size. While painted in striking colors, the mural will be in relief. Set in place 16 feet above the ground so that the top will reach a height of 73 feet, it will have a commanding sweep of the court. Shown with sections of the mural are: Eleanor Pickersgill, assitant, and helen, Esther and Margaret Bruton. (GOLDEN GATE INTERNATIONAL EXPOSITION) 8-372-B" |
