Description
Photograph of a woman standing by a reflecting pool at San Francisco's Golden Gate International Exposition in 1939. A woman in a black dress, hat and gloves stands in the left foreground while tiny plants line the reflecting pool behind her. A metallic statue of a nude woman stands on a pedestal in the center of the pool. Thin trees stand along either side of the pool while people walk on the walkways behind them. A large archway in the center background leads to the next portion of the exhibition building.
