Caption: "Parkway and Dome of Ford Building. Chicago Fair. Sept. 17, 34." Several pedestrians wander along a parkway with a small lagoon and fountains, flanked by benches and manicured hedges. The Ford Building rises in the distance. The Exposition, a world fair attended by thirty-nine million people, celebrated Chicago's one-hundred year anniversary of incorporation. Originally planned to only run from May to November in 1933, it was such a success that its organizers decided to keep it running for a second season from May through October the following year. The central theme of the Exposition was technological innovation, with a motto of "Science Finds, Industry Applies, Man Conforms." None of the buildings constructed for the fair are still extant today, having been built as temporary facilities.
