Lot of 2 Vintage Acetate Photographs. Marina District – San Francisco, California. A pair of vintage photographs showing the Freedom Train going through the Marina District in San Francisco. The Freedom Train visited San Francisco in 1948 as part of a cross-country tour exhibiting historical artifacts. One photo shows the train on the Marina with vehicles visible on the street. One of the vehicles is a San Francisco Chronicle newspaper van. The other photo gives a closer view of the train itself with one of the decorated lamp posts visible in the foreground. SIZE : The photos are approximately 4 7/8″ by 3 7/8″ in size. The photos are printed on acetate (safety film). The photo with the SF Chronicle vehicle is marked “Ansco Safety Film” near the edge and has a notch towards the bottom. I believe these were both printed in the era circa 1948 when taken… But possibly later into the 1950s. CONDITION : Very good overall condition. There are no splits or cracks to the acetate. The photo with the Chronicle van has a small surface impression/wrinkle to the bottom edge. Please view scans for an accurate depiction of condition.
