XL Blueprint Copy of “Proposed Golden Gate Bridge Crossing of San Francisco”
Located in San Francisco, CA
A fascinating and expansive six-foot-wide 1950s copy on paper of a historically important and rare 1923 panoptic engineering blueprint titled “Proposed Highway Crossing - San Francisco to Sausalito” by John G. Little & Co. It depicts a pair of suggested solutions for bridging the world famous Golden Gate, the mile-wide strait where San Francisco Bay meets the Pacific Ocean.
Both crisply rendered San Francisco-to-Sausalito crossings are meticulously drafted in full at 1” = 400’ scale, with each having a total length of 22,780 feet (4.31 miles). The proposal at top depicts a high-level bridge with three 1,100 ft. spans, and the proposal at bottom depicts a combination trestle-and-tube design that presciently evokes the similarly submerged Transbay Tube that would open fifty years later nearby. Little estimated their respective costs to be $14,000,000 and $11,000,000—or approximately $215,333,000 and $169,190,000 when adjusted for inflation.

Antique and Vintage Prints for Wall Decor
Prints are works of art produced in multiple editions. Though several copies of a specific artwork can exist, collectors consider antique and vintage prints originals when they have been manually created by the artist or are “impressions” that are part of the artist’s intent for the work.
Modern artists use a range of printmaking techniques to produce different types of prints such as relief, intaglio and planographic. Relief prints are created by cutting away a printing surface to leave only a design. Ink or paint is applied to the raised parts of the surface, and it is used to stamp or press the design onto paper or another surface. Relief prints include woodcuts, linocuts and engravings.
Intaglio prints are the opposite of relief prints in that they are incised into the printing surface. The artist cuts the design into a block, plate or other material and then coats it with ink before wiping off the surface and transferring the design to paper through tremendous pressure. Intaglio prints have plate marks showing the impression of the original block or plate as it was pressed onto the paper.
Artists create planographic prints by drawing a design on a stone or metal plate using a grease crayon. The plate is washed with water, then ink is spread over the plate and it adheres to the grease markings. The image is then stamped on paper to make prints.
All of these printmaking methods have an intricate process, although each can usually transfer only one color of ink. Artists use separate plates or blocks for multiple colors, and together these create one finished work of art.
Find prints ranging from the 18th- and 19th-century bird illustrations by J.C. Sepp to mid-century modern prints, as well as numerous other antique and vintage prints at 1stDibs. Browse the collection today and read about how to arrange wall art in your space.
