A Century of Progress World’s Fair Souvenir Book

Festivity is in the air and Old Glory welcomes you as you enter the 1933 World’s Fair in Chicago, or so this souvenir book tells us decades later.  The publication, with its reproductions of ninety-five of the Fair’s most spectacular features, would have been a way for a fairgoer to remember their trip to this thrilling and informative event.
