The photographs in this series are from a set of postcards I  published for the 50th Anniversary of the Golden Gate Bridge in 1987.  The number of sets printed was 4,400. They were sold at the Golden Gate Bridge Gift Shop and are now out of print. 
The photographs came from the San Francisco Archives at the Main Library.
ps: My friends and I, as 12 year olds, spent many happy hours watching the bridge go up.
