About This Design

San Francisco Palace of Fine Arts Sunset Postcard

San Francisco Palace of Fine Arts Sunset Postcard

The Palace of Fine Arts in San Francisco’s Marina District is a stunning example of Beaux-Arts architecture, designed by Bernard Maybeck for the 1915 Panama–Pacific International Exposition. Modeled to resemble a decaying Roman ruin, it features a majestic 162-foot open rotunda flanked by a colonnade adorned with statues of pensive “weeping ladies”—an artistic choice intended to evoke a sense of quiet contemplation amid the fair’s festivities . The structure, originally built from temporary materials like wood and plaster, survived the demise of most exposition buildings thanks to public sentiment and the efforts of philanthropist Phoebe Hearst In the 1960s, between 1964 and 1974, the Palace was thoughtfully reconstructed using concrete and steel—this time built to endure . At its heart lies a serene lagoon that mirrors the grand rotunda and colonnades, surrounded by lush lawns perfect for picnicking. Today, it serves as both a cherished public park and an active cultural venue: hosting weddings, artistic performances in its theater, and occasional exhibitions—all free for visitors to enjoy . Of all the exposition’s remnants, the Palace of Fine Arts remains the most iconic, embodying San Francisco’s architectural grandeur and its resilience following the 1906 earthquake

I had never seen these classic science fiction images and most of my friends have not seen them either. They are like little treasures! Amazing quality and fun to send people!

I joined Postcrossing a few months ago and wanted postcards to represent my state well. I found them on Zazzle. I purchased numerous cards and was impressed with all of them. Excellent! The colors are beautiful. The cards have the exact look I wanted. I couldn't be happier.
