Original 100+-year-old photos from the Panama-Pacific International Exposition held in San Francisco, CA in 1915

In 1915, San Francisco held one of the most fantastic world's fairs the country has ever seen.
Ostensibly to honor the completion of the Panama Canal, the exposition went much further in its grandeur and broad scope as these photos attest.
These are authentic photos from the official expo photographers, the Cardinell-Vincent Company. Most have the embossed stamp of the photographers
and are generally in very good to excellent condition with minimal warping, foxing, etc., but please click on thumbnail for better look at each photo.

The images below are of various sizes (denoted in parentheses). Prices vary according to size and popularity of the image.
Please click on image for larger view. Due to their size these larger photos are more prone to aging defects (yellowing, foxing, small tears, etc.)
Please feel free to email us with questions about condition of specific image if enlarged image is not sufficient.
