ARTISTS’ EDITION The World’s Fair IN COLORTYPES AND MONOTONES fh ILLU cial Publication R The Louisiana Purchase Exposition, 1904 T -HE natural grace and beauty of the great exhibit palaces of the World’s Fair are best reproduced by the use of color. Hence this collection of views of the principal buildings of the great exposition. At an expense of many thousands of dollars the publishers are able to place this book before their patrons to carry home with them as one of the most desirable souvenirs of the world’s most wonderful and by far the largest exposition ever created. All the large exhibit palaces and a number of other notable structures are here presented as from the brush of a skilled artist, and preserved in a convenient form for reference when one may wish to revert to the delightful days spent at the exposition. It is the common prediction that the World’s Fair of 1904 will be the last of great expositions for at least a generation, and when one looks upon the vast expanse of magnificent palaces and lesser buildings he may readily understand why this prediction is so generally given approval. One can but marvel at the achievements here in the matter of buildings alone, to say nothing of their contents, which have been brought from the remotest parts of the world and which reflect the industry and progress of the people of every land. The World’s Fair is estimated to have cost fifty million dollars exclusive of the value of the exhibits themselves 1 ) whose value is placed at one hundred million dollars. Anyone who fails to embrace the opportunity to see this World’s Fair unless prevented by insurmountable obstacles, is surely lacking in appreciation of one of the greatest opportunities of his lifetime. Here indeed is a display of the world’s marvelous things. The greatest engines ever built are here. The latest and largest and most perfect machines for many purposes are here.. You may see the newest development in the long sought steam turbines. You may find the best textile machinery, the most wonderful locomotives and latest luxuries of travel. Never were such musical instruments or such scientific apparatus on display. Never were the products of mines so extensively shown or mining methods so graphically portrayed. The United States government has surpassed all its former efforts as an exhibitor, and the same is true of the states and nations of the world generally. The character and number of exhibits in each of the sixteen great departments, from Education to Live Stock, surpasses all former undertakings in these lines; first, because of the grander scope of the exposition and, second, because the progress of the world makes possible these greater achievements. The “World’s Fair in Colortypes and Monotones” should, therefore, prove not only a delight to the eye, but the illustrations herein should be reminders of the varied contents of the great palaces, and of the profit to the mind that may come as a result of acquaintance with them.
