Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: “A true gem . . . period images of the Windy City and a glimpse back at a moment that not only shaped the city of Chicago but the world around us today. ” —Week99er Between 1933 and 1934, over forty-eight million visitors attended “A Century of Progress Exposition,” the world’s fair located in Chicago, Illinois. Conceived of during the Roaring Twenties and born during the Great Depression, this was a sprawling event celebrating Chicago’s one-hundredth anniversary with industrial and scientific displays, lascivious entertainment, and a touch of unadulterated bad taste. Century of Progress is a collection of rare photographs from the world’s fair that have been carefully chosen from the Chicago Tribune’s voluminous archives. Featuring an informative introduction by Tribune reporter and historian Ron Grossman, this book documents one of the most expansive displays of technological advancement and cultural diversity that took place in the twentieth century. The lakefront exposition, on the present site of McCormick Place and Northerly Island, opened on May 27, 1933, and was reopened in 1934 at the urging of President Franklin D. Roosevelt who hoped it would stimulate the Depression-era economy. This book is an engrossing and fascinating look at the numerous sides of the “A Century of Progress Exposition”: the whimsical attractions, the architectural and scientific achievements, the palpable spirit of fun, and the occasionally unsavory exhibits of differing cultures. At a time when the entire U.S. population numbered just over 125 million people, the Chicago world’s fair left an indelible mark on the collective consciousness of American culture, and Century of Progress captures that feeling as only a photograph can.

Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: A Century of Progress, a millennium of Chicago. Chicago was no stranger to World's Fairs. The Windy City hosted the great 1893 World's Fair at the end of the 19th century, the fair which introduced the Ferris Wheel and electric lights on a grand scale to the world. Forty years later Chicago would try to one-up itself and celebrate the city's 100 year anniversary with The Sky RIde, art deco styling, the Sinclair Dinosaurs, Hall of Science, and creative applications of lighting that stunned millions of visitors. A Century of Progress heralded not just Chicago's history but also the past several decades of American advancement in electricity, transportation, agriculture, science, medicine, art, movies, and architecture. It was said that "if Washington could return to our land of railroads and steamboats and airplanes and electricity and telephones and radios and the myriad products of physics and chemistry and biology and geology, he would think that by some magic he had been transported to some marvelous fairyland." Written and designed by filmmaker and photographer, Mark Bussler (Expo: Magic of the White City, The 1893 World's Fair Ultra Massive Photographic Adventure Series and San Francisco 1915 World's Fair: The Panama-Pacific International Exposition) Chicago 1933 World's Fair: A Century of Progress in Photographs collects a wealth of stunning amateur, professional, and press photographs that chronicle this incredible event.

Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: What came to be known as the World s Columbian Exposition was planned to commemorate the 400th anniversary of Christopher Columbus s 1492 landfall in the New World. Chicago beat out New York City, St. Louis, Missouri, and Washington, DC, in its bid as host a coup for the Windy City. The site finally selected for the fair was Jackson Park, originally designed by Frederick Law Olmsted and Calvert Vaux, a marshy area covered with dense, wild vegetation. Daniel H. Burnham and John W. Root were selected as chief architects, creating the famous White City. The fair featured several different thematic areas: the Great Buildings, Foreign Buildings, State Buildings, and the Midway Plaisance, a nearly mile-long area that featured exotic exhibits. The exposition also showcased the world s first Ferris Wheel and introduced fairgoers to new sensations like Cracker Jack, Pabst Beer, and ragtime music. The World s Columbian Exposition, covering 633 acres, opened on May 1, 1893. Admission prices were 50cents for adults, 25cents for children under 12 years of age, and free for children under six. Unfortunately, by 1896, most of the fair s buildings had been removed or destroyed, but this collection takes readers on a tour of the grounds as they looked in 1893."

Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: It took six years and cost $100 million, but on May 27, 1933, the gates swung open on the biggest birthday party the city of Chicago had ever seen. The Century of Progress Exposition, better known as the 1933-34 Chicago World's Fair, commemorated the amazing progress that had been made since the founding of the city just 100 years earlier. Many of America's largest companies joined with countries from around the world to showcase their histories and advertise their newest products. The road to opening day was not an easy one, with the Great Depression making it look like the fair might never be built, but thousands of small investors stepped forward to help close the financial gap. The fair went on to an unprecedented second season, and when the gates finally closed after the last of the 39 million visitors went home, it had achieved something quite rare among world's fairs: earning a profit. This collection of rare photographs, previously unpublished, highlights the major attractions of the fair and the astonishing changes made between seasons.
