Anglers share the frame with the Golden Gate Bridge here, a pairing the subject headings specifically record, which sets this view apart from the usual shots of the span alone. The bridge had opened in 1937, and by about 1942 the strait was busy with wartime shipping and the city was changing fast. The Pan American Union, which gathered photographs promoting ties among the Americas, collected views like this one as images of modern American engineering.
