"'At last the mighty task is done' wrote Joseph Strauss, designer and builder of the Golden Gate Bridge, when in 1937 the impossible was accomplished. Rising 746 feet above the ocean, the bridge is just a little over one mile long but took 4 1/2 years to build. Now 100,000 vehicles cross the bridge each day.--Caption on verso"
