**RARE** 1933 Chicago American Newspaper - Centennial Celebration & Worlds Fair

Opened in 1933, and held again in 1934, the fair commemorated a hundred years since the 1833 incorporation of Chicago as a town. Held during the Great Depression the focus of exhibits was on a happier not-too-distant future, all driven by innovation in science and technology. Fair visitors saw the latest wonders in rail travel, (monorail!), automobiles, architecture, futuristic homes, and even cigarette-smoking robots! The exposition "emphasized technology and progress, a utopia, or perfect world, founded on democracy and manufacturing."

This is the full color newspaper, framed, and in very good condition. Really neat piece of history, especially if you want to go back in time and read the newspaper articles. Piece is rare. 1933 Worlds Fair artifacts can be found, but I’ve not seen this full color, Chicago American newspaper item before. Came out of the office of a financial technology executive. Would make a great piece for anyone interested in history, technology, where we’ve come from or where we think we’re going. Size is 18”x22”. Thanks for looking.
