EDITORS COMMENTS
This photograph transports us back to the historic Chicago World's Fair of 1933, also known as the Century of Progress Exposition. The image, taken from the Lagoon, showcases the breathtaking beauty and grandeur of Northerly Isle, an artificial island created specifically for the fair. In the foreground, the serene waters of Lake Michigan reflect the vibrant colors and intricate details of the fairgrounds, while in the background, the iconic Tower of the Century of Progress and the overhead railway gracefully rise above the landscape. The Tower of the Century of Progress, standing tall at 465 feet, was the centerpiece of the fair and served as both an observation tower and a radio transmitter. Visitors could ascend to the top for a panoramic view of the fair and the city of Chicago. The overhead railway, known as the "L," was an essential mode of transportation for fairgoers, connecting them to various attractions and exhibits throughout the expansive grounds. The 1933 Chicago World's Fair was a testament to human ingenuity and progress, drawing millions of visitors from around the world. This photograph offers a unique perspective of the fair, capturing the essence of an era long past and the spirit of innovation that defined the 1930s.
