Abstract:

The Century of Progress International Exposition, otherwise known as the 1933 Chicago World's Fair, was held along Lake Michigan and Northerly Island Park in Chicago, Illinois, from May 27, 1933, to October 31, 1934. The theme was "Science Finds, Industry Applies, Man Conforms." This small collection of photographs shows various views of the fair. The images are snapshots of buildings, exhibits, and amusements taken by an unknown photographer throughout the fairgrounds. The collection provides insight into what the experience of an average fairgoer was like.

Dates: 1934
