Vintage photograph of architect Timothy L. Pflueger, civil engineer Charles H. Purcell, editor and writer Rob Wagner, and photographer Walter G. Swanson, standing at the base of the then-incipient San Francisco-Oakland Bay Bridge, circa 1935. Annotations in manuscript ink and pencil on the verso. Purcell and Pflueger both oversaw the construction of the Bay Bridge-Purcell being the Chief Engineer, and Pflueger serving on the committee of architects for the project. Rob L. Wagner is best remembered today as the editor and publisher of "Script," a left-leaning, weekly literary film magazine published in Beverly Hills between 1929 and 1949.

While Wagner's involvement with Pflueger, Purcell, and Swanson is unclear, it is evident that Wagner maintained many connections with powerful leaders in California. 10 x 8 inches. Very Good plus, lightly worn at the right corners. …
