Robot advertising for Alpha the Robot while walking through the California Pacific International Exposition near the Cafe of the World, San Diego, [about 1935]

Description:
According to the negative sleeve, the photographs in this group were taken in 1931. Key features of these images were nonexistent in 1931. Penguins were not exhibited at the San Diego Zoo until 1933. Alpha the Robot did not appear in the states until late 1934 and was a special attraction in San Diego during the California Pacific International Exposition (1935-1936). Based on this, it is most likely that the images were taken about 1935 during the exposition.

Shell Oil Company Building under construction at the California Pacific International Exposition, San Diego, circa 1935

Description:
Photograph of the Shell Oil Company Building, cast in concrete in the shape of a seashell, at the California Pacific International Exposition during the end stages of construction. A ladder is suspended from the top of the shell and a man is suspended on a scaffold near the top on the right. Scaffolding is on the ground in front of the building. Technical writing appears on each shell spandrel about midway up the façade (where there appears to be a join between 2 large cast shell sections), at the bases of the shell spandrels, and around the doorway. A flatbed truck and 2 cars are parked in front and 2 boys are passing on a bicycle.
