Imaging an Icon: Ted Huggins and the Golden Gate Bridge
Free event at the California Historical Society, 678 Mission Street, San Francisco
Using Ted Huggins’
images and recently discovered journals, historian John C. Harper will lead a
discussion on Ted Huggins and his work to promote the Golden Gate Bridge
and the West. Over three-and-a-half years, Ted Huggins took hundreds of
photographs that captured the majestic beauty of the bridge and helped turn it
into a world-famous tourist destination. He photographed construction from both
shores, from airplanes and a blimp, from construction boats and ferries, from
inside a caisson underneath the bay, and from atop the two towers. Join us this
evening to view these wonderful photographs and hear about Ted Huggins.
