Description:
[San Francisco: Golden Gate Bridge and Highway District, Schwabacher-Frey, Co., 1939]. 4to. 246, [20] pp. With large folding colour lithograph frontisp., illust. title, photo plates, text illustrations, maps, & diagrams throughout, 12 large folding blueprint plates at rear. Brick-red publisher’s cloth, white lettering, illust. of Golden Gate Bridge pier (minor rubbing, edgewear, some scuffing to lower fore-edge, ring on recto of frontisp.), still VG copy. First edition of this lavishly illustrated engineering report detailing the Herculean efforts to build the Golden Gate Bridge, including a detailed history of the project, the planning stages, construction, materials, and finished construction. Although Strauss and his original team incorporated Ellis (d. 1949), Strauss managed to shunt Ellis aside in November, 1931 after several delays, and forced him into retirement and long stretches of unemployment, even though he continued work unpaid on the calculations and structure of the Golden Gate Bridge.
