EDITORS COMMENTS
This photograph transports us back to the New York World's Fair of 1939-1940, held at Flushing Meadows-Corona Park in Queens, New York. The second most expensive world's fair in American history, surpassed only by the St. Louis Louisiana Purchase Exposition of 1904, showcased the latest technological innovations and cultural achievements from around the globe. In this scene, we find ourselves at the New England exhibit, a charming collection of buildings arranged around a waterfront dock. Anchored at the center is an old sailing vessel, a common sight in the seaports of old New England. This traditional and historical architectural display offers a glimpse into the colonial past of America, transporting fairgoers to an earlier era. The 1930s, or the 30s as it was commonly referred to, was a time of innovation and progress. The New York World's Fair, with its international exhibition, embodied the spirit of the era, bringing together people from all walks of life to celebrate human achievement and explore new possibilities. This photograph serves as a testament to that time, a moment frozen in history that continues to inspire and intrigue us today. The New England exhibit, with its charming buildings and old sailing ship, stands as a reminder of the rich history and traditions that continue to shape our world. This photograph, from the Mary Evans/Grenville Collins Postcard Collection, offers a unique perspective on a bygone era, inviting us to reflect on the past and look forward to the future.
