A Century of Progress
Cotter.As a centennial tribute to the city’s 1833 founding, the Chicago World’s Fair of 1933 almost didn’t happen-it took six years to develop and ultimately cost over $100 million, a staggering amount at any time and a nearly impossible figure during the Great Depression. And, despite these obstacles, it was one of the very few World’s Fairs of the era to actually turn a profit.
Re-live one of the most fascinating and unlikely celebrations of the 20th century with this pictorial volume packed with hundreds of rare photographs (many previously unpublished) of the historic two-season event. 128 pages, 223 B&W photos, 6½”x 9¼”, softcover.
