Description

The 1939-40 New York World's Fair
Photos on CD #2
The 39-40 New York World's Fair has been said to have been the best fair ever. A wonderland of pavilions was constructed on a former dump in Flushing Meadows, showing unbridled optimism for the future. This particular group is in black-and-white, with a focus on the sculptures, fountains and outdoor exhibits at the Fair. It's hard to believe the size of some of these sculptures - the George Washington figure, for example, towered six stores above the visitors. There were other marvelous exhibits in this collection, including a full-sized Pennsylvania Railroad engine that was run under power on a giant set of rollers so visitors could see the wheels in motion from close-up. These pictures are all original shots taken from the negatives and are not scans of previously published images.
This auction is for a CD of photos from the fair. The original negatives  have been professionally scanned at 2400 DPI and have been digitally corrected, with dust and scratches removed. There are 51 photos for a total of 304 MB. Here is a detailed list of the pictures included:
