In various TC threads, bigbrotiki and others have alluded to the great mystery surrounding the now missing original work of art, done as one of six murals for the 1939 San Francisco Golden Gate International Exposition (World's Fair) on Treasure Island. There's a January 16, 2008 online SF Weekly News article that summarizes what is known. See inside the front and back covers of the Book of Tiki for the complete map. -Tom
