Chicago World’s Fair (1933). “Upper Court – Hall of Science.” Postcard No. 232 from the R. H. Donnelley Corp., Chicago.
A Century of Progress International Exposition, also known as the Chicago World’s Fair, was held from 1933 to 1934. The theme of the fair was technological innovation, and its motto was “Science Finds, Industry Applies, and Man Adapts.”
One description of the fair noted that the world, “then still mired in the malaise of the Great Depression, could glimpse a happier not-too-distant future, all driven by innovation in science and technology.” Fair visitors saw the latest wonders in rail travel, automobiles, architecture and cigarette-smoking robots. The exposition “emphasized technology and progress, a utopia, or perfect world, founded on democracy and manufacturing.” [Source: Wikipedia]
