An Original Vintage 8 1/4" x 10" [21 x 25 cm] Still (Learn More) 1939 New York World's Fair, the 1939 to 1940 international exposition held from April to October 1939 and 1940. The theme of the fair was split into different zones: Transportation, Communications and Business, Food, and the Government Zone. There was also the Billy Rose Aquacade, a musical and water show that starred Johnny Weissmuller and Eleanor Holm. Of special note in the World's Fair was the "Trylon and Perisphere", which were two giant structures side by side, connected by an escalator. The Perisphere contained a diorama showing "The World of Tomorrow". These two structures became the symbol of the World's Fair, and the image of the two structures (in blue and orange) were put on licensed products advertising the World's Fair (it was one of the most licensed events ever, with over 25,000 different products created, from teaspoons to tables, and everything imaginable!). If you want to learn more about this World's Fair (one of the greatest ever held), go to https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/1939_New_York_World%27s_Fair! NOTE: Click on linked names to see a biography. Important Added Info: Note that the Carrier Corporation (the air conditioning people) came up with a novel exhibit at the 1939 New York World's Fair. They created a five story "igloo" that was filled with refrigeration units, so it not only kept the igloo freezing cold, but it also provided air conditioning for several nearby exhibits (see the snipe that explains about this)! Condition: very good. The snipe has come loose, but it will be sent along with the still to the winning bidder. Learn More about condition grades
